The covering letter that accompanies your CV is, in many cases, your first point of contact with a potential employer. It is therefore very important to get it right!

Your letter should have three clear sections:

Opening Paragraph

  • Set the scene; introduce yourself and state your reason for writing. Mention where you saw the job advertised.

Main Paragraph(s)
  • Match your skills and achievements to the job description using similar words and style. Give them a reason to see you!
Final Paragraph
  • Conclude your letter courteously. Specify that your are enclosing your CV and that you would welcome the opportunity for an interview.

Do
  • Use short, clear sentences and keep to the point
  • Take care with grammar and punctuation and make proper use of paragraphs.
  • Consider using bullet points. 
  • Find out the name and job title of the right person to send the letter to. 
  • Use the correct salutation - Dear Mr Smith with yours sincerely and Dear sir/madam with yours faithfully
  • Use good quality A4 paper in either white or cream
  • Check and check again for mistakes in your letter
  • Send your letter unfolded in a large envelope and use a first class stamp 

Don’t
  • Use generic letters. Make sure that your covering letter is tailored to each job you apply for
  • Hand write your letter
  • Use more than one sheet of A4
  • Forget to check that you have included everything before posting
