Covering Letters
Whenever you submit a CV you also need to send a tailored covering letter (or email). It should explain your motivation for that role and organisation and emphasise your relevant skills and experience.
Your covering letters need to:
- Be specific to the role and highlight why you are suitable, refering to your CV where necessary
- Show you have researched the company and reflect this in your reason for applying
- Present you in a concise, logical and structured way, that is readable and interesting
