Applying for a job These days most jobs are advertised online, and applications are also done online. Sometimes you will be asked to complete an application form, and other times just to submit a resume and cover letter (or email).

What is a cover letter?

A cover letter is a one-page document that you submit as part of your job application (alongside your resume).

Its purpose is to introduce you, briefly summarize your professional background, and spark an interest to read your full resume. On average, your cover letter should be from 250 to 400 words long.
