Why cover letter is important?

A cover letter always gives an introduction about your candidature to the future employer. Here are few reasons why cover letter is important:

Your introduction to the employer

Cover letter is also known as the professional summary in your resume. Cover letter helps to standout among the list of prospective candidates applied for the same job position. Without conducting any background research, your resume creates confusion for any hiring manager. Attaching a cover letter with your resume presents yourself as the right applicant for the job position.

Bringing Your Resume in Sync with the Profile

When you are applying for a job position, customize your resume according to the same description. A cover letter would bring the resume in perfect sync with the job role requirements. It demonstrates the skills and knowledge required for the job position you applied.

Letting the recruiter know about your communication skills

If you are having required skills to get shortlisted for the technical position, communication is the primary criteria, which is considered by the most of the hiring managers across the globe. Sending a cover letter gives clear picture about your communication abilities and why you are suitable for the job position. Make sure that you have checked your resume and cover letter before you are sending to the prospective employer.

You can include your relocation and salary information

If you are willing to relocate then mention about it beforehand and give him the space to make arrangements. If the employer allows, mention your current income and set the stage for a healthy negotiation to receive the right remuneration. A cover letetr can be modified according to the employer needs.
