A consulting cover letter is a document that introduces yourself to a recruiter or resume reviewer. In addition to your resume, cover letters are another component of your application that consulting firms use to determine whether or not you should receive an interview.
Cover letters are a quick way to screen out weak candidates. A cover letter that is generic and filled with errors leaves a negative impression on readers. Poor cover letters signal a lack of interest in consulting, poor writing skills, and a lack of attention to detail.
However, cover letters are also an opportunity to distinguish yourself from other candidates. Through a cover letter, you can go beyond what is listed on your resume and provide further context and background on your work experiences. Additionally, you have the opportunity to tell readers who you are as a person, what your motivations are, and what makes you special.
Overall, if your resume is on the borderline between receiving an interview and not receiving an interview, your cover letter could be the deciding factor. Candidates that don’t have the strongest resumes benefit the most from having outstanding cover letters.
