A Cover letter is very important when applying for jobs. Basically a cover letter is a letter that distinguishes you from all the other candidates and it's what makes the hiring manager want to read your resume. When writing a cover letter I always try to keep it simple, up to 3 paragraphs is good. This is the format that I use.
To Whom it May Concern or Dear Hiring Manager:
(1st Paragraph talk about how you found the job and how you are qualified for the position).
(2nd Paragraph talk about your experience and relate it to the position you are applying for).
(3rd Paragraph talk about how if you were to get the position it would benefit the company and the skills you will bring).
Thank you,
(Your name)
(E-mail)
(phone#)
Enclosed: Resume
When applying for the position you want to compose an e-mail with the cover letter in the body and attach your application to the e-mail. This way since you hooked the reader they can learn more by clicking on your resume. That is why a cover letter is important, it's the thing that initially sells you.
Please stay tuned as I will be talking about Following-up and later interviews
