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!

With employers receiving so many CVs these days, a well-written email cover letter will make your application stand out. Gone are the days when you can just say "Here is my CV". These days, you must produce a first-class email covering letter that clearly links your experience, skills and achievements to an employer's real needs. It must demonstrate that you are better than the other applicants and make the reader want to read your CV.

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.
