Cover letter for CV?

Question

What can i put in my opening letter?

Cheers

Answer 1

You do need to put what the job is you're applying for. On top of that, this is a great opportunity to sell yourself in a different way to that on your CV. I always try and keep the letter flowing and conversational and give pointers to the parts of my CV which are particularly relevant to the job. You can also mention that you'd welcome the opportunity to discuss it in more detail at interview, etc. Use the opportunity to make yourself stand out a little bit - a recruiter remembers an individual letter much easier than heaps of lists on CV's.

Good luck.

Answer 2

The answers above all point at some essential things you should place in that cover letter. But it is the character of the letter which can help you land that job or not. I recommend the targeted one.
