Rather you must clearly demonstrate HOW, WHEN and WHERE the qualification was met through substantiation by examples. Use the wording of each experience criterion as a header and then write one or two paragraphs demonstrating how you meet these. You must also clearly indicate the time period for experience claimed (From Month/Year - To Month/Year), and the duration (number of months and years).

Résumés may be used as a secondary source to validate the experience described in the cover letter.
