What is one of the main purposes of the first paragraph of a cover letter? a. to preview the reasons that youre a great fit for the job b. to explain how your prior experience makes you a good candidate c. to let the reader know how he or she can contact you d. to list all of your contacts in the company

One of the main purposes of the first paragraph of a cover letter is to preview the reasons that you're a great fit for the job. Usually, the details of yourself and your experience come into the later paragraphs. The job interviewer usually wants a short, to the point paragraph about you at first before he or she jumps into the details. Hope this helps :))
