The cover
letter. Perhaps the most controversial job-search document. Well, if not
the most controversial, then it's at least the one that annoys people
the most. "What should I put in it?" "Do I really need to include this?"

résumé?"

related to communications, marketing or any profession that relies on
you being well-spoken and having exceptional writing abilities.
Similar to the résumé infographic we created to show you the before and after, here is an infographic on cover letters and how to make one that is eye-catching to a hiring manager.
