short, punchy and targeted at the skills required
for the job you applied for but if you are not sure
leave it out and sell your cover letter

one

Suggested structure for a covering
letterFirst Paragraph
? State the job you��re applying for.
? Where you found out about it (advert in The C newspaper etc. - organisations like to know which of
their advertising sources are being successful)
? When you're available to start work (and end if it's a requirement)
Second Paragraph
? Why you're interested in that type of work
? Why the company attracts you (if it's a small company say you prefer to work for a small friendly
organisation!)
Third Paragraph
? Summarise your strengths and how they might be an advantage to the organisation.
? Relate your skills to the competencies required in the job.
Last Paragraph
? Thank the employer and say you look forward to hearing from them soon.
If you start with a name (e.g. "Dear Mr. X) you should end with "Yours sincerely". If you start with "Dear Sir
or Madam" you should end with "Yours faithfully".

Emailed letters
? Put your covering letter as the body of your email. It's
wise to format it as plain text as then it can be read by any
email reader
? Emails are not as easy to read as letters. Stick to simple
text with short paragraphs and plenty of spacing. Break
messages into points and make each one a new paragraph
with a full line gap between paragraphs. DON'T "SHOUT"
(WRITE IN UPPER CASE!) Your CV is then sent as an
attachment
? If you don't know the name of the person you are writing to,
it's probably best to use the formal Dear Sir or Madam and
to sign off Yours Sincerely or Yours Faithfully
