Cover Letters

Often when applying for a position, job seekers don’t include a cover letter. Some employers and recruiters will only look at your resume, ignoring any cover letter, while others may ignore your resume if you do not include one. Without knowing will be looking at your application, you are always better off including one, as this could be limiting how many positions you are considered for.

Whilst there is no single method for producing the right cover letter, a well written cover letter can greatly improve your chances of getting an interview by providing a summary of who you are, demonstrating you have read the job description and that are enthusiastic and qualified for the role. The style of your cover letter will depend on how you are approaching your job hunting, what industry it is and what skills need to be highlighted.
