Answer to Question 1

A cover letter should point out things about the applicant and her qualifications for the position that might persuade a recruiter to examine her resume. Some items to include are high academic standing at school (if applicable), eagerness to specialize in the same area of law as the position that is available, and willingness to relocate to the employer's location. The applicant's job is to convince the recruiter that she is a close match to the perfect candidate for the job. The applicant should also include information so that the reader knows when and where she can be reached.
