Cover letters
A cover letter is a short letter you send with your resume to introduce yourself. JS Jobs keeps your cover letters so you can pick one each time you apply for a job. Sending one is optional.

My Cover Letter
Section titled “My Cover Letter”Click My Cover Letter in the Job Seeker Control Panel. Each letter shows its title and the date it was Created, with three buttons:
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| Edit | Opens the letter in the form (Edit Cover Letter). |
| View | Shows the letter (View Cover Letter). |
| Delete | Deletes the letter, after you confirm. |
You can’t delete a cover letter you have sent with an application: the message Cover Letter is in use and cannot be deleted appears. Edit it instead if you want to change it for future applications.
The employer sees the letter you sent under the application. In My Applied Jobs, Applied Info shows which letter you sent with each application.
