What are the three different types of cover letters? Provide a situation in which you would use each type of cover letter.

Answer:

The three types of cover letters include application, prospecting, and networking. An application letter is written when you are applying for a listed job opening. A prospecting letter is written to ask a company about any possible job openings or future opportunities, because there are not any openings posted. Networking cover letters are written to members of a job seekers’ network, asking them for assistance and support in the job search process.
