We recommend including a cover letter in your application, even if the employer doesn’t request it. Cover letters are a great way to expand on what’s written in your resume and elaborate on your career highlights, explain your interest in the job and truly market yourself to the hiring manager or recruiter. Our user-friendly Cover Letter Builder has dozens of cover letter templates that will help you complement your resume. We also have a detailed How to Write a Cover Letter article and hundreds of cover letter examples you can use as inspiration.
