Covering Letter

Sending a covering letter with your CV to support your application will allow you to focus your skills and experience against the specific opportunity for which you are applying. Alternatively, if you are making a general application, briefly outlining the role you are looking for will help the recruiter to match your requirements to potential opportunities.

A covering letter should:
  • Confirm the opportunity for which you are applying
  • Indicate how you learnt of the opportunity e.g. job board
  • Summarize why you think you would be suitable
  • If a general application, give a brief outline of what you would be looking for from your next move
  • Confirm your willingness to relocate if necessary
  • Confirm your salary expectations

    Keep a covering email or letter brief and to the point. Remember, it should support your application, making it relevant to the opportunity for which you are applying rather than duplicating the information contained in your CV.
