The Importance of the Cover Letter
SoundGirls.org: College may or may not be in person where you live this semester but that doesn’t mean school isn’t starting soon. As students prepare for Zoom or in-person orientations this August I encourage you to consider looking for places you may want to intern at or be employed at after school.

I think there is a lot of pressure around the idea of the “cover letter,” especially if you have never written one. This article greatly helped to remove some of the mystique surrounding the cover letter, and I will definitely be saving it to look back on. I think one thing I realized that is helpful in doing your research about the company you hope to work for is that you are able to do research on if the company is right for you. Yes, it is intended that you advertise yourself to the company and demonstrate how you would be a good fit, but by doing that research you can learn if it's really worth it. I found the process strikingly similar to applying to college. I suspect as well that the more research you are able to do demonstrates your initiative and prepares you for interviews.
