It is your opportunity to tell an employer about yourself. You can show your enthusiasm for the job.

You need to write a new cover letter for every job you apply for. Hopefully, you can use the previous one and change some of the information to fit the next application. A job application with no cover letter is a waste of an opportunity. A cover letter shows an employer that you are serious about the job. It shows that you are prepared to make an effort. It shows that you are the sort of person who does things properly. A CV with no cover letter is not very impressive.<\/p>\n<h5>How long should it be?<\/h5>\n<p>Short.\u00a0 About half a page. You don&#8217;t need to write your life story. Keep it relevant.<\/p>\n<h5>What should it say?<\/h5>\n<p>It should say that you are the right person for the job. It should say that you have relevant experience, skills and qualities that make you perfect for this position.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here is an example of a cover letter:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>85 Beckett Street<br \/>\nBrighton<br \/>\nBN1 5XP<\/p>\n<p>15 April 2018<\/p>\n<p>Application for role of\u00a0[Put job title here, and a reference number if there is one]<\/p>\n<p>Dear\u00a0[put the employer&#8217;s name]<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0I am keen to be involved in a good company like\u00a0[Put the company name].

Because of my previous experience and my positive attitude, I am confident that I can bring benefit to your organisation.<\/p>\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n<p>I have worked in a busy customer services area and performed well under pressure<\/p>\n<p>I was trusted to handle the money and close the building at the end of each day.<\/p>\n<p>I had a good working relationship with my previous employers and colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for considering my application.
