Is the letter of application as important as resume?

What is to be written in the letter to produce a favourable impression?

What is the most important thing to write in the letter?

The letter of application (also called the covering letter) can be as important as the CV in that it often provides the first direct contact between a candidate and an employer. If this letter is not well written and presented, it will make a poor impression. The letter of application normally contains three or more paragraphs in which you should:

a. confirm that you wish to apply and say where you learned about the job;

b. say why you are interested in the position and relate your interests to those of the company;

c. show what you can contribute to the job by highlighting your most relevant skills and experience;

d. indicate your willingness to attend an interview (and possibly say that you would be free to attend).
