Question 1 • *GV 2018 - P.E. Health Science - PE201

Which of the following best describes a cover letter?

Answer
A
It introduces a job candidate to a hiring manager and expresses why the candidate is interested in, and uniquely qualified for, the job.
B
It announces a new job opportunity.
C
It describes a job candidate’s personal life, including hobbies, family, and other personal information not included in a résumé.
D
It lists a job candidate’s college degrees.

Explanation

A cover letter introduces a job candidate to a hiring manager and explains the candidate’s interest in the position and qualifications for it. Choice A describes this purpose. A résumé typically lists education and experience, while a cover letter is not an announcement of a job opening or a description of a candidate’s personal life.
