chem.eng Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I am not very sure what is supposed to be written in the cover letter for the resume that I should upload as part of my application? Do I mention research interests, experience? I have that on my SoP so I don't understand how are they different? Thanks in adv! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MathCat Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 If they only ask for your resume/CV, I don't think you are expected to include a cover letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Air Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) Never seen a cover letter needed in my 11 engineering school applications. I wonder if their system is confused with a university job application system. But if they do require one, then make a cover letter that is about half a page in a letter type form. For my job applications I mainly used parts of my SOP in my cover letters becuase I like how I wrote them. Start it off on what your applying for and that "your knowledge and skills make you a quailfied adaptable canidate." Then put a short paragrah of your experience and another short paragraph that has your most important skills that describe you as a engineer and sum you up. Then do a conclusion and a Sincerely, Your Name at the bottom. Thats what I would do in this odd request.
