A covering letter is too often the neglected partner of a CV. If overlooked it may harm a candidates chances of success!

If you drive past a car dealership and the cars are dirty, poorly presented or worse still – no cars are out at all, would you be encouraged to go into the showroom?

The sole purpose of a covering letter is to ensure that when a CV gets into the hands of a prospective employer, it gets their attention. A poor covering letter could lead to a CV being binned before it’s even looked at!

The creation of an effective covering letter is equally important as a high quality CV! A covering letter is an excellent opportunity for a candidate to sell themselves and explain not just WHAT skill set they possess but HOW those skills match a specific job role.
