A letter expressing your interest in a specific job is called what?

• A. Employment Interview
• B. Employee Benefits
• C. Cover Letter
• D. Behavioral Interviewing

Answer: (C)

A cover letter is a tailored, brief introduction you send with your resume to express interest in a specific job and explain why you’re a strong match. It goes beyond the resume by linking your skills and experiences directly to the job description, showing your motivation, and giving a sense of your communication style and professionalism. A good cover letter mentions the position, highlights a couple of relevant accomplishments or qualifications, and ends with a call to action, such as requesting an interview.

The other options aren’t a letter. An employment interview is the actual meeting where you answer questions and discuss your fit. Employee benefits are the perks and compensation a company offers. Behavioral interviewing is a type of interview that asks about past experiences.
