Cover Letter

• The cover letter should be treated as your personal marketing literature; it introduces you, your CV and is your first chance to make a good impression. Avoid ‘Sir’ or ‘Madam’ and address to the relevant contact if possible.
• If you're replying to a job advert, say so, and include the job title, reference number and where/when you saw it.
• The content should be brief, structured and should avoid repetition of information covered in your CV. Outline your current situation, why you’re seeking a change and why you’re interested in working for the company. Highlight your transferable skills achievements and versatility.
• Finally, make sure you have included any requested information, including expected or current salary and benefits.
