Having a good cover letter is just as important as having a good resume. Don't neglect this part of your job application. Make sure to write the cover letter thinking about who your potential audience is (the employer). Remember, you are trying to get the employer to read your resume, so explain where you heard of the position and why you think you're a good fit for it; don't just rewrite your resume.
