Cover letters are an essential component of your job application because it gives you an opportunity to present yourself to potential employers and present why you’re a good candidate for the job. However, writing a cover letter can be a challenging task, particularly if you’re uncertain of what to include or how to format it. Here are some guidelines for writing a cover letters to make you stand apart from your competitors.

  1. Customize your cover letter for the job you’re applying for Every job is distinctive It’s crucial to tailor your cover letter to the particular job you’re applying for. Find out about the company and specifications for the job, and use this information to demonstrate how your skills and experience match what they’re searching for.
  2. Maintain a professional tone Cover letters are a formal document that’s why it’s crucial to use a professional tone throughout. Avoid using slang and casual language, and stick to a formal, professional tone.
  3. Be concise The cover letter should be no longer than one page It’s crucial to be concise and get straight to the main point quickly. Use bullet points and short paragraphs to make your cover letters easy to read.
  4. Exhibit enthusiasm Employers want to know that you’re enthusiastic about your role and your company. Use your cover letter to convey your enthusiasm for the position and explain why you’re the perfect fit for the position.
  5. Be sure to proofread before submitting your letter of cover, be sure to proofread your letter for any spelling or grammar errors. A cover letter with errors can make a bad impression. Therefore, it’s vital to ensure that it’s error-free.

Fantastic I highly recommend this company they compiled an amazing resume and cover letter in PDF format and word, don't worry if you find computers frustrating as I do they will book an interview with you over the phone. The consultant took about a hour (less if you have everything organised which I did not). Also they will sort out your LinkedIn profile if you have one. Again amazing. Thanks again for your help. Rob
