For example, a job application at a news agency, or a supermarket.
      Answer1:yes for news agency nd has to be impressive, for the supermarket, not necessary if you are applying for a stock person or a cashier but recommended for a position as supervisor or in management. a cover letter shows how professional you are; so you might consider it with any application if you want to seek growth in a company
      Answer2:Not all. A job to be a cashier, waitress, or something very simple likely does not need one and only needs an application.Anything where you send an actual resume, a professional job, or any type of management or supervisory position you are expected to send a cover letter.When in doubt, send a cover letter. It makes you look more professional. It also gives you the opportunity to introduce yourself in writing instead of being just another name on a paper. A cover letter is also critically important if you are missing a qualification. You dont want the employer to look at the resume and instantly throw you out of the pool. You can explain what you are missing and why it shouldnt disqualify you.Cover letters are only usually 2-3 paragraphs long. Keep it to the point. You dont have to get complicated. Remember your goal is to score an interview. Not explain your whole life history. The interview is where you will either win or lose the job.
      Answer3:If you apply and get sent a form to fill in a nice letter with it will show some manners. All you need to say is."Please find enclosed the completed application form for the position of..... and I look forward to hearing from you very soon."
      Answer4:In my opinion, if you are serious about landing a job you should ALWAYS submit a cover letter, regardless of the job in question.A well written cover letter allows you to expand upon skills, qualifications, or past experiences that you feel may be especially relevant to the position you are applying for. So, for example, if you are applying for a position at a supermarket and have a strong background in working with people, stocking shelves, handling inventory, have worked around produce, etc., then you should mention such things in your cover letter.Keep in mind, however, that a cover letter should not simply rehash the information that is on your resume - it should EXPAND upon it.Plus, as others here have indicated, a cover letter enables you to demonstrate your professionalism as well as your seriousness about the job in question.Good luck.
      Answer5:Yes, for some it should only be brief though.
      Answer6:It depends on whether you have to fill in an application form. If you do you dont need a cover letter. If you are just taking in a resume, write a nice cover letter on top. My brother also recommends putting a photo of yourself (as small one) on the cover letter too. It makes you look different especially if you do it on a coloured printer.
