Keep in mind that in order to achieve the greatest impact, every cover letter you write should be customized to reflect the situation, company and position. Also, the image and information conveyed by your cover letter should be consistent with your resume. In other words, use your resume as an information pool from which to draw from and put in your cover letter. In this cover letter I will use the information from the sample resume, and apply for a Production Assistant Position.
