Three examples of covering letters




If you don't put any effort into a job letter, or it's sloppily written, the chances are you'll be a lazy, unproductive and sloppy employee. Try using one of these three styles, but remember, they are just a guide - don't use them as a template.

1. Standard, conservative style for sectors such as business, law, accountancy, retail. Don't send a letter like this for a creative position - they'll stick it straight in the bin.

Dear Mr Black,

Please find enclosed my CV in application for the post advertised in the Guardian on 31 November.

The nature of my degree course has prepared me for this position. It involved a great deal of independent research, requiring initiative, self-motivation and a wide range of skills. For one course, [insert course], an understanding of the [insert sector] industry was essential. I found this subject very stimulating.

I am a fast and accurate writer, with a keen eye for detail and I should be very grateful for the opportunity to progress to market reporting. I have not only the ability to take on the responsibility of this position immediately, but also the enthusiasm and determination to ensure that I make a success of it.

Thank you for taking the time to consider this application and I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

Yours sincerely

2. Standard speculative letter - vary according to the nature of the company.

Dear Mr Brown,

I am writing to enquire if you have any vacancies in your company. I enclose my CV for your information.

As you can see, I have had extensive vacation work experience in office environments, the retail sector and service industries, giving me varied skills and the ability to work with many different types of people. I believe I could fit easily into your team.

I am a conscientious person who works hard and pays attention to detail. I'm flexible, quick to pick up new skills and eager to learn from others. I also have lots of ideas and enthusiasm. I'm keen to work for a company with a great reputation and high profile like [insert company name].

I have excellent references and would be delighted to discuss any possible vacancy with you at your convenience. In case you do not have any suitable openings at the moment, I would be grateful if you would keep my CV on file for any future possibilities.

Yours sincerely

3. Letter for creative jobs (in this case, to be a copywriter). The aim of a creative letter is to be original and show you have imagination, but understand what the job entails. Balance is essential: don't be too wacky, or it will turn off the reader. Never send a letter like this to a conservative company.

Dear Ms Green,

· Confused by commas?
· Puzzled by parenthesis?
· Stumped by spelling?
· Perturbed by punctuation?
· Annoyed at the apostrophe? (And alliteration?)

Well, you're not alone. It seems that fewer and fewer people can write. Unfortunately, there are still a lot of people who can read. So they'll spot a gaffe a mile off. And that means it's a false economy, unless you're 100% sure of yourself, to write your own materials. (Or to let clients do it for themselves.)

To have materials properly copywritten is, when one considers the whole process of publishing materials and the impact that the client wishes to make, a minor expense. Sloppiness loses clients, loses customers.

There is an answer. Me. Firm quotes are free. You can see some of what I do on my multilingual website at [insert web address]. If you'd like, I can get some samples out to you within 24 hours. And, if you use me, you'll have some sort of guarantee that you can sleep soundly as those tens of thousands of copies are rolling off the presses.

Luck shouldn't come into it!

With kindest regards

Interview - winning CVs


Like a good presentation, your CV needs a hook: something that will draw in the reader, and keep them interested. Answer the 'What's in it for me?' question at the beginning of your CV by linking what you offer to the current needs of the organisation you are applying to. Demonstrate that you understand the sector, the organisation, and the role itself.

Making your CV relevant means displaying those skills, qualifications or success stories to prove you can deal with the problems and challenges of the role.
1. Research
Find out as much as possible about the organisation's products or services, and its current market position. Use the job ad to analyse the role and to understand what the successful candidate needs to do to perform well. If you can't glean this information from the ad, look at others for similar roles in similar organisations to draw up a list of key requirements.

2. Select key details from your background
Find the skills, qualifications, or experience that match the demands of the job. These will vary according to function or sector, meaning your CV will have a different emphasis depending on the job — even though the facts of your work history and background will be the same.

3. Highlight the most relevant information in the top third of your CV
Rather than heading your CV 'Curriculum Vitae', put the title of the job you're applying for.
Under this title, you can add key personal qualities required in the job, or a 'positioning statement' — a short sentence that shows you match the job requirements.

Include a professional profile or summary
Write three to five sentences summing up your value. Your profile can include length or breadth of relevant experience, the impact that your work has had, your personal strengths, and any other crucial details that will "hook" the hiring manager.

Consider a key skills and / or a key achievements section
Put your relevant key skills in one section to avoid having to keep mentioning them in your work history section.

Find a few success stories: achievements which are relevant to the role
These can be anything from increasing profits or customers, cutting costs, streamlining processes, improving efficiency — as well as examples of specific technical expertise that you might need. Put these accomplishments in context, by giving the background to the problem you solved, and quantifying your results.

For example: 'Identified greatest cause of customer dissatisfaction; trained service staff to deal promptly with concerns, and increased repeat business by more than 20%.'

4. Include a covering letter
Your covering letter helps tie in your CV to the position you're applying for. This is where you can demonstrate your personal interest in the job and organisation, and mention a couple of key aspects that show how you are ideal for the job.
