Covering Letters

A customised, one page cover letter should go with each CV you send out. The letter should consist of three paragraphs:

  • State the reason for your application
  • Sell yourself by linking your strengths and skills to the job
  • Include any relevant personal attributes or information relating to the role

End by requesting an interview or meeting. The covering letter is the first thing an employer will see, so taking time now with presentation and content, will pay dividends later on.
