Cover letters are a really important aspect when applying for jobs and internships. It speaks about you as a person and things that are not listed in the resume. Often times, resumes are similar throughout different candidates. There are similar leadership positions and extracurricular activities in the resume, but the cover letter goes beyond that. It provides employers a sense of who the person applying for the position is. The event reiterated some things I already knew. But one thing I learned was creating different resumes for different positions. Some roles and activities on the resume might be irrelevant for some positions. It’s good to have different sets of resumes.
