experience are accurately represented on the CV, the employment cover letter will
emphasize your skills that are pertinent to the position you're applying for. Employers

Vietnamese translations of "cover letter" include "introduction letter," "application


letter," or "application letter." They are often provided to companies together with your

a strong highlight to satisfy even the pickiest employers.
