Cover Letters are your first opportunity to introduce yourself to a prospective employer. CV’s are a dry, factual account of your work experience, your cover letter allows you an additional route to connect with the recruiting manager and further support your job application. Your cover letter provides a narrative that adds to and complements your Resume, highlighting the key areas of your employment history that are relevant to the role. Bring to the foreground your skills and attributes that the recruiting employer has indicated are important for the role you are applying to and reinforcing these details in your Curriculum Vitae significantly improves your chances of being shortlisted for interview by the recruiter. Write an effective cover letter and make the most of the opportunity to draw the recruiters’ attention to the reasons why you are a great candidate to interview for the role they have advertised.
