\nIntroduction
\nThe Letter of Application, or more commonly referred to as a Cover Letter, is written specifically for each prospective employer and is tailored, like the r\u00e9sum\u00e9 will be, to the job for which you are applying. Textbook author Philip Kolin (2015) considers the Letter of Application to be \u201cone of the most important pieces of correspondence you may ever write\u201d (p. 197). He posits that the letter should be the three P\u2019s: personable, professional, and persuasive (Kolin, 2015, p. 197). Kolin (2015) also recognizes that while the r\u00e9sum\u00e9 and letter of application work hand-in-hand, they are not mirrors of one another; they have both similarities and differences. He advises his readers that \u201cknowing\u2026 [this] can give you a better idea of how to compose your letter\u201d (Kolin, 2015, p. 197).<\/p>\n
