Cover Letter
     • A cover letter is a sales letter that sells you as
       a candidate.
     • Winning cover letter tips include emphasizing
       your top accomplishments or creating
       subheadings culled from the job posting.
     • For example:
           – Your Ad Specifies: Communication skills
           – I Offer: Five years of public speaking experience
             and an extensive background in executive-level
             report.
