The majority of jobs these days ask for you to submit a cover letter in addition to your resume as part of your application for the position.
Individuals who do not write a cover letter run the risk of their application not being given any consideration by the prospective employer. It's just not worth it.
So, what is the purpose of the cover letter and how do you write a good letter?
A cover letter formally introduces you and explains specifically why you want the job and what you can bring to their company and how your skills and experience relate to the role.
Here are my top 5 suggestions to writing a good cover letter:
Be clear, straightforward and specific as to who you are, why you want the job and what you can bring to their company.
Best stick to a length of a page.
Make sure that your grammar and punctuation is all correct.
Re-read the letter over to make sure that it makes sense.
If there is a person listed on the job advertisement, then address it to them unless otherwise stipulated.
