Hi tash,

The purpose of a cover letter is to introduce yourself to a potential employer by highlighting those work experiences from your resume that you think are especially important in regard to the position you are seeking. As the weight of your entire work experience is reflected in your resume, you should keep the cover letter brief -- four to five brief paragraphs should be sufficient. A closing paragraph, which thanks the reader for the consideration of being reviewed for the position, should also request an interview.

For more help in writing your cover letter, please browse through the following list of links.

Please post a draft of your letter back to this thread. I'm sure that you'll find many here who are willing to help you produce a final draft that is clear and professional in its appearance.

- Best of luck
