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.
Summarise how qualified you are, keeping it in line with the roles requirements listed within the job description. Furthermore, use bullet points to highlight a couple of key achievements.
