COVER LETTERS

When a firm asks for a "cover letter" what exactly are they looking for? I've given them a resume, but now they've asked for a cover letter. Any suggestions?

I'm assuming that they're looking for a more robust objective statement than I have on my resume.

Thanks!
 
Google has thousands of pages on what they are and how to write one: cover letter - Google Search

A resume is more constrained, as you are "obligated" to list all of your qualifications. A cover letter lets you comment on what is important, why you are qualified, why you want to work there, and address your shortcomings.
