What Is a Cover Letter?

A cover letter is a one-page document sent with your CV that explains:

  • Why you want the job
  • Why you are the right candidate
  • What skills and experience you bring
  • Why the employer should hire you

A good cover letter increases your chance of interviews and helps you stand out from other applicants.
