chance of making progress.

you could bring to the role you’re applying for. Your resume is there to document your skills,
experience and achievements, but your cover letter sums these things up in a way that matches the job
and offers a sense of who you are.
It’s also your chance to show why you’re interested in the particular role, and that you’ve done your
research about the company or organization. A well-written cover letter will encourage a potential
employer to read through to your resume and get in touch to find out more or set up an interview.
