How to write a successful cover letter
Problem: how can you write a cover letter that will get you an interview? Uses: a cover letter complements and enhances your CV. It allows the candidate to emphasise some of their strengths more than others to fit the job they are applying for, and it also gives the employer an overall view of the candidate’s profile, personality, experiences, skills and motivation. Professional context: job or internship searching, career change.FAQs:What makes an emailed cover letter different one sent by post? Is it a good idea to handwrite your cover letter? Should you always send a cover letter with your CV? What arguments should you make when you have little or no professional experience? Can you add a touch of humour to your cover letter? How can you appear enthusiastic without coming across as arrogant? Can you use the same cover letter for every job? Should you mention the distance between the workplace and home?Have you just graduated, lost your job or decided that you want to change careers? Well, unless you plan on setting up your own business, you are going to have to apply for a job or an internship. You now have to think about writing a cover letter, which is almost always expected for job applications.
In fact, no matter your professional situation and the job you want to apply for, a cover letter is crucial. It is usually the second document read by the recruiter, after your CV. Your chances of being hired therefore depend greatly on the quality and coherence of this letter.
However, do not forget that, even if your cover letter is beautifully written and perfectly matches the job description, this is not a guarantee of success. No matter how many strengths and how much motivation you manage to convey with your cover letter, the employer might simply prefer another candidate’s CV. Not only that, there are other important stages which you still have to get through, particularly the interview(s). That being said, in order to have the opportunity to get to this point, you have no choice but to spend some time on this first, decisive step: your cover letter.
This can be quite the challenge if you have never written one before. Even worse, you may think you know how to write a good cover letter, but you keep getting turned down. If this sounds like you, it may be time to rethink your approach in order to write the best letter possible.
But where to begin? What are the most important elements to include to make your application more convincing? Never fear, this practical little guide will give you all the help you need to find the job of your dreams!
