Targeted Cover Letters
A cover letter introduces you to the employer. Discuss your best skills you think the employer wants. You can also highlight other experiences that you think fit the job. You can also write a resume as a letter. Adults may also want to use a letter rather than a printed resume. Keep in mind there are no hard and fast rules for resume writing other than trying to grab the attention of an employer.

Targeted cover letter for Sammie Sparks, high school teen, who wants a job in electronics is a RESUME LETTER!
This could be a targeted cover letter or a combination of a cover letter and a resume. Sammie is so focused on electronics that either presentation might impress a future employer. If Sammie had a favorite teacher, with that teacher's permission, he might also suggest the employer call my teacher to "learn more about me." Be sure and include a phone number for the teacher. And, ask the teacher's permission first.
