Resume without cover letter is like indian cricket team without sachin, hindi movie without song, job without a pay. So you see its incomplete. just like an hindi movie is incomplete without song, indian team is incomplete without sachin.... You are not doing job if you aren't getting paid...Same is true with a resume, a resume without an accompanying cover letter just doesn't have the punch. Just like presence of sachin gives confidence to the indian team, a cover letter increase your resumes's success rate.
So increase your chances by attaching a good well written cover letter with all the resumes that you shoot off from your email.
Here i will show a sample cover letter and discuss the structure.
An effective cover letter must have an catchy introduction, professional main body and memorable conclusion.
{intro, write from where you have got the information of the job and it should also mention for which post you are applying for}
{highlight your experience relevant to the post you are applying, if the job is for catia, highlight the experience relevant to it, if its for propulsion highlight that one}
{Highlight one skill that is relevant to the post and the skills that you want the recruiter to notice while browsing through your resume.}
{Conclude showing you know about the organization. Research the company you are applying for and mention something in your conclutions that shows that you know about the company.}
Here's one sample cover letter.
