General NewsYou’ve read the job description, it sounds like the perfect role! However, when you apply a cover letter is required? Don’t let this discourage you, here are some tips on how to structure and write a great cover letter.
The purpose of a cover letter is to express why you’re the best candidate for a particular job. Alongside this, it is a chance to make your application stand out even more!Your cover letter will typically accompany each CV you send out. Hiring Manager’s will use this as a way to screen your application. Therefore, it is particularly important to spend some time perfecting it. In some cases, if even if the job application does not ask for a cover letter, it might be worth including one anyway to make your application stand out (in a good way!).
Here are our top tips for how to structure your cover letter:
List your contact information including:email, telephone, address
Briefly introduce yourself, include terms such as skilled, experienced within…, keeping it clear and concise. Also, state why you’re a good fit for the role you are applying for.
