<\/del>A well-written cover letter can be the perfect way to stand out from the crowd. <\/del><\/span><\/strong>Not all positions provide an opportunity to include a cover letter\u00a0in your application, but when they do \u2013 our advice is to use that to your advantage! Cover letters are a perfect time to distinguish yourself from the crowd by addressing why you\u2019re interested in the role, what makes you uniquely qualified (outside of what is on your resume), while providing an opportunity to demonstrate passion for the company and position for which you\u2019re applying.
