Sample cover letter for Internship position at Delloit

A lot of job applications say that a cover letter is optional. Typically, you should include a cover letter anyway. Make sure the cover letter is not too generic. Actually explain why you would be a good fit for the role and the company. Do a little research, and be positive. Remember the rule about resumes, though: don’t make the cover letter too long.

If you are just “casually” sending your resume to a current employee, it is okay to skip the cover letter. This is another example of how networking is a critical. The best way to get an interview is to be recommended by a current employee. If you can do this, then your resume will float to the top of the pile automatically.
