>> I think that the cover letter can be somewhat over, over rated for lack of a better term,
but the important thing about the cover letter I think is just to demonstrate one
that you know a little bit about the job and what the actual job you're applying for entails
and also just to demonstrate that you actually have some writing skills
that would be applicable to that type of position.
So it's not the sort of thing you should be mulling over like your essays for applications
to under grad, but it is something that should just be very clean
and concise almost similar to how your resume is set up.
