Question:
What's a cover letter?
Answer:
It's what you send to an employer along with your resume to help you get an interview. It summarizes what is on the resume.

In case you've forgotten or never learned the parts of a job letter, review these building blocks.

Contact information
Your address, telephone number, e-mail address, and URL (Internet World Wide Web address) appear first on the letter. You can place your address in the middle or on either side of the page. Just make sure that your Web address is on a line of its own.
You have a choice about where to place your name. You can either place it (preferably in larger letters) above your address, or you can type it below your signature.
