<p>Hi, when applying for a work study job, do I need to have a cover letter in addition to my resume?</p>
<p>Yes! Always add a cover letter, regardless of whether it is asked for or not. It's very difficult to tell the personality/character of an applicant by resume alone. Write a good-length (one-page, maximum) cover letter that answers specifically to the description offered for the position on the work-study website. Attach your cover letter separately from your resume, and send both via email. In the email itself, just briefly (three lines) introduce yourself and include your contact information- the most vital of information.</p>
<p>Good luck,
