Did you mean you needed advice on your resume? A cover letter is supposed to express your interest in the specific job, highlight a few (emphasis on few) points from your resume or provide additional information you couldn’t fit into it about why you’re the best qualified candidate, and to let the recruiter know anything else they might need to about the best time and method to contact you for an interview. All this should take a few short but solid paragraphs. Save the meat of your qualifications and the bullet points for the attached resume.
