>> I think the cover letter is a good opportunity to go a little bit outside the box.
The resume you see them all the time and there are ways to be creative with that,
you don't always want to be too creative.
But a cover letter is where you can definitely show writing skills if that applies to your,
the position that you're going for and it allows you to stand out a little bit more.
You definitely will want to follow up on your resume and your cover letter
because recruiters do see a lot of people being interested in their jobs or they may be working
on a number of different jobs at once that they're trying to fill
so it's not necessarily going to set you apart
if they don't have the time to look at it but it could help.
