Types of Job Search Letters
You should always send a Cover Letter with your resume. It introduces you, your resume and your qualifications to a potential employer.
Other Job Search Letters include the Broadcast Letter, the Interview Follow-up (Thank You) Letter, the Job Acceptance Letter, and the Follow-Up-To-A-Rejection Letter.
It's important that you do your best to write professional, error-free letters. Doing so will help you be successful in your job search.
