Cover Letters
Most employers require that a covering Letter should accompany every CV.
A covering letter is designed to point out some key information's in your CV or application form. It attempts to 'sell' you to the reader by drawing a close up attention to your particular experience or skills which will be useful to the company. If you get the employer's attention with a good covering letter, this will encourage him to read your CV in more detail.
Some simple rules
- A Covering Letter should not be more than one side of an A4 page.
- It should include your name, address and the date. If you have a telephone contact number then you may include it.
- It must be addressed to the contact name or position as stated in the advert and include the company’s name and address.
- The body of the letter should be to the point. Mention the job, where you saw the advert and add a short paragraph to indicate your suitability for the position.
- Be grammatically correct, concise and to the point. Do not write in long, complex sentences as they will be difficult to read.
- Remember to sign your letter.
