Importance of Cover Letter

Many students do not realize the importance of writing a cover letter or they do not know how to write one properly.

I am sharing an effective template for writing a cover letter.

You can make edits to this according to your experience, knowledge and use it as a base.

You should not just copy-paste a cover letter but also understand the essence of it and the reason behind every word in it.

Cover letters vary as per your job roles.
