可能这段更能说明cover letter 的重要性:
“YOU MUST SUBMIT A COVER LETTER WHICH PROVIDES, UNDER SEPARATE HEADINGS, CONCRETE EXAMPLES OF HOW YOU MEET THE EXPERIENCE, EDUCATION AND ASSET CRITERIA (IF APPLICABLE). Please note that it is not sufficient to only state that the requirement is met or to provide a listing of current responsibilities, rather candidates must provide concrete examples that illustrate how they meet the requirement. Applicants will not be solicited for incomplete or missing information. FAILURE TO PROVIDE A COVER LETTER IN THIS MANNER MAY RESULT IN YOUR APPLICATION BEING REJECTED FROM THE PROCESS. YOU MUST ALSO SUBMIT A RESUME. RESUMES WILL BE USED AS A SECONDARY SOURCE TO VALIDATE THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE COVER LETTER. ”
