Need a cover letter. A cover letter is more than just a formality or courtesy - it is an opportunity to impress. Research suggests that employers favor resumes that are accompanied by a cover letter, making it a critical component of your job-search strategy. INSTRUCTIONS: A cover letter is an important way to showcase how your unique combination of skills and experience meets the key requirements of the job description. It is your chance to show a clear link between your knowledge, experience, and abilities and the needs of the employer. What The Hiring Manager Wants to Know: The best way to answer this question is to discuss what you can do for the company. What do you bring to the table? What skills, education, and attributes do you have that will benefit the organization? What will you achieve if you were to be hired? This is an opportunity to sell yourself to the hiring manager. QUESTIONS: 1. Using your chosen career field that you discussed in Final Part 1, (fruitful business leader) I need an email cover letter addressed to the professor. 2. Need at least three paragraphs long (Introduction, Body, and Conclusion) and contain between 250-300 words. It should have an appropriate opening & closing, and a professional signature (which we learned earlier in the semester).
