What is the definition of a cover letter?
A cover letter is also known as a letter of introduction, an accompaniment to an application, or otherwise but whatever you call it, it is the letter that should always be the accompaniment to a resume. A smart job seeker knows that sending out a resume without a cover letter is as good as sending out no resume at all. A cover letter can often be what interests an employer to call for an interview and should be part of any job search strategy.
