Covering Letters

A Covering letter is an important part of your job application. It is a chance to personalise your application and is an ideal tool to lead into your CV. Below are some tips to create a stand out covering letter.

Make sure you know who the application is going to so that you can address the covering letter correctly. If you don't have a name, ring the organisation and ask the receptionist. Don't forget to ask for their title and the correct spelling of their name.
Your first paragraph should make a connection with the reader.
Your final paragraph should refer to an action.
