<p>Sorry.
I've never written one before.
What goes into a cover letter?
My mentor at school suggested that I start with a resume and a cover letter. (currently applying for a research lab internship). </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>a brief overview of qualifications and an advertisement for yourself and your goals- thats what i usually put. good luck</p>
<p>Your cover letter shouldn't be a reiteration of everything that's in your resume; you should talk about how your skills apply to the position you are applying for, why you are interested in the position, and how you'll benefit the employer. </p>
<p>If you search on Google/other search engines for cover letters, you can usually find some sample ones to give you an idea of where to start.</p>
