Why you should view your cover letter or online job application as being as important as your resume
A lot of the time, your cover letter or online job application will typically be the first communication that the Recruiter/Job Advertiser will read, not your resume. The content of your communication and the manner of your expression in your cover letter/ job application will create an impression of you in the mind of the Recruiter.
