Do I Need A Cover Letter For My Resume?

Question

I had a phone interview for an entry-level job four days ago. I was called just based on my application, I did not send them a resume. Now I have an actual interview tomorrow and am working on my resume. Is it necessary for me to have a cover page? What exactly is a cover page and how do I make one? Thanks :)

Answer 1

A cover letter basically introduces a job candidate and provides a brief summary of her resume.  Since you will be interviewing in person you do not need a cover letter because the employer has already reviewed your information.  It is still a good idea to bring a resume in case the interviewer does not have a copy of your application.
