Your cover letter is actually a sales letter selling you to your prospective employer. And for it to be effective it must hit the reader hard very quickly indicating you are the one they are looking for.

Because employers usually receive tons of responses to their adverts, if your cover letter fails to grab their attention in the few seconds they have to read it, it might end up in their trash can.

For your cover letter to be compelling you need to know what's strongly important to the employer as regards the job. What are the most important qualities the employer is looking for in the person they are seeking to employ.

Knowing these will help you to express yourself as having those qualities and presenting yourself to helping them fix the problem or create the solution they are in need of. Don't generalize, let your cover letter be specific to the job you are gunning for.

Cover letter writing skill is very important for a job seeker to develop because your cover letter may be your ticket to moving ahead and getting an interview if well done or it may be your dead-end to having an opportunity to prove yourself to the employer [if poorly written].
