When I was working in Career Services, the thing I got the most questions about was cover letters. No one seemed to know why they needed one, if they needed one, or how to write one.Your cover letter is an incredibly important part of your application- it shows your potential employer how your resume is connected to their position description. This is exactly why you want all aspects of your cover letter, even the seemingly small details, to be perfect. In my years working for Career Services, there was one cover letter mistake that would make me cringe every single time I saw it. It’s so small, you might not even give it a second thought. BUT, it’s those details- the ones most people don’t think about- that will make your cover letter stand out.
