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.

Graduates: How to get round the 'overqualified' label

How do you persuade an employer that you aren't a "flight risk", liable to go as soon as a better opportunity arises? If you are getting feedback that you're overqualified for roles, try these strategies:

Don't lead with your degree on your CV

Unless you're applying for a graduate-entry role where your degree is crucial, prioritise your skills or employment history instead. Make a business case for hiring you as early as possible in your CV.

An employer won't necessarily see the relevance of your degree, so translate what you learnt into tangible business benefits. Include other elements from your university experience: you may have picked up useful transferable skills from extra-curricular activities.

Emphasise experience and skills match

You need to convince an employer you're capable of the job. If you lack relevant work experience, examine voluntary work, holiday jobs, gap-years, work-shadowing and so on for evidence that you have key experience and skills. Non-graduate roles may have given you valuable experience in customer services, sales, or more general office-type skills.

In A graduate guide to job seeking, Simon Reichwald of Bright Futures says: "Graduates need to 'sell' what they have done by showing how their skills match up to what employers want. Make it easy for recruiters to see what you have achieved."

Be clear why you want the job

Employers want to know why you're interested in them, so explain in your covering letter, as well as at interview. Try to strike a balance between your ability to do the job and the opportunity it offers for professional development. Perhaps you want to work your way up, or the chance to learn from mentors. Never give the impression that you'll get bored or feel the role is beneath you.

Research the company and the role thoroughly so you can show you understand the job requirements. Steve Thompson says that questions about commercial awareness and personal motivation are often the trickiest, and he advises graduates to learn how to answer questions such as "Why do you want this role?" or "Where do you see yourself in five years' time?"

(This blog post from HBR has useful tips on how to answer this question.)

A temp or admin post might pave the way for a role with more responsibility. In a smaller company you may also be doing more than the job title suggests, so emphasise how you appreciate the opportunity to gain CV-building experience and make an impact beyond the scope of the role.

Deal with the salary question

Minimise fears that you expect a higher salary because you're a graduate. Research the market range for the position, but ask about probationary periods and career progression in the company.

Attitude is critical

Employers like to see the six key traits of commitment, honesty, trustworthiness, adaptability, accountability and loyalty.

In a Live Q&A on how to deliver in your first job, Nicole Corr says, "One of the key mistakes grads often make is thinking that their degree accounts for everything. Learning how organisations operate and colleagues interact are hugely important life skills which build a positive work ethic. The best way to develop these skills is to get stuck in, apply yourself 110% to your role and your working environment."

How to Optimise Your CV for an Online Database

Perhaps like thousands of others you have posted your CV onto an online job board. Registration is free and easy, and it almost seems too good to be true. You invest 10 minutes of your time, post your CV, and then sit back and wait for the phone and the emails.

This is a great way to minimise effort and maximise exposure to jobs you might never have heard about. However, if you don't consider what happens to your CV once you post it online, you might have to wait for a long time for the interview call or miss out on plum jobs.

To improve your chances of success, it is worth knowing what happens to your CV once it lands in the online database , how a job board actually works, and how a recruiter uses this resource to find their candidates. Job boards generally operate by charging recruiters to search the database, that's why it's free for you to register. The recruiters will invariably be in a hurry and often under pressure in their candidate search, because the only way a recruiter will get paid, and their company profits, is by placing successful candidates with their clients.

How does a recruiter find my CV?

Recruiters will input combinations of search words to find the exact candidate they are looking for. Their search will be quick depending on how specific their search terms are: the number of CVs returned from a search may vary between just a few and several hundred. If the exact words for the skills, qualifications or experience that they are searching for do not appear on your CV in a narrow search you may never be pulled from the pack, or at best in a wider search you might appear so far down the results list that your recruiter has logged off and gone home before they even get to you.

In practice, a skilled recruiter will typically scan their target job description to look for search terms including the sector, job title alternatives, key skills, specific software packages or the technical, professional or academic qualifications which are essential criteria for the job.

They are looking for as close a match as possible, and will use a technique called Boolean or logical searching to mine the candidate database. Boolean searching uses "operators" which include the terms 'and', 'or' and 'not' to find the candidate with the right combination of keywords in their CV.

You can visualise a Boolean search by imagining a Venn diagram, for instance a Boolean search for engineer and graduate will find all the candidates who overlap in the group in the middle on your diagram, and who are both engineers and graduates. Alternatively a search for engineer or graduate will find all the candidates who have the either of the terms graduate or engineer on their CV.

The important point to remember is that if you don't have the same terms that the recruiter is using in their Boolean search, you stand no chance.

To illustrate how critical this is in practice as an example, it means listing specific software packages, for instance: Excel or Powerpoint. If you have simply written on your CV, "good knowledge of Microsoft Office", while clearly the semantics demonstrate that you have the skills required, the Boolean search performed by the recruiter does not have the logic to understand that "Microsoft Office" actually means Excel or Powerpoint. Consequently and disastrously you might be completely missed on a search for someone with Excel or Powerpoint.

Put yourself in the recruiter's shoes

In order to optimise your CV you need to put yourself in the place of a recruiter, and imagine what search words they might use to find someone just like you for your target job. Don't presume that because your previous company used one job title, that there's no other term that could describe it, or that the recruiter will have sufficient knowledge or skill to use the various alternative phrases to describe your job title in their own search. As a rather tenuous but illustrative example, although a recruiter is highly unlikely to be looking for a beverage trading assistant, let us suppose that they were, and that they had only used the exact phrase "beverage trading assistant". This is your forte, you have years of experience multi-tasking tirelessly in aiding and assisting others to imbibe alcoholic beverages, washing glasses and ejecting those who have become a little too boisterous. You dream endlessly of landing your next beverage trading assistant, and this one is paying £50 per hour. However you have exclusively used the term "bar tender", and unless you have also peppered your CV with various descriptive terms including the term "beverage trading assistant", then sadly you will never appear in that particular search, your CV will continue to languish in the depths of the database and your return to the days of working behind a bar will continue to evade you.

My advice is to invest some time now, reappraise your CV for an online job board, think like a search engine and let your CV spiral its way up to its rightful place on the desk of your future employer.

Interview and Employment Tips

How graduates can stand out from the crowd

A study published by Metro found that more than half of all new graduates are either unemployed or in menial jobs six months after leaving university.

Rosie Percy has applied for (and been rejected from) more than 200 jobs in the last year, despite trawling job sites, signing up to alerts, and tailoring her applications.

She writes: "I have received reams of messages from those in the same post-study slump as me, and we're all doing our utmost to appeal to employers and excel above the others... We're all posing the same question: what's a graduate got to do?"

When competition is this fierce, it's crucial to stand out from the crowd. Rather than doing the same as everyone else, try these approaches to get noticed.

Prove yourself

Be inspired by the widely-admired advertisement for a copywriter (from Poke). Applicants have to respond to five challenges – each one representative of the type of work a copywriter could be expected to produce, from writing a book title, to website copy and a slogan.

Rather than just sending your CV, think of ways you could prove your value to a prospective employer. Set up your own website or blog to showcase examples of your work – especially if you're aiming for creative/communication roles in journalism, PR, website design and so on.

Or provide examples of case-studies that show how you've gained experience. Marketing campaigns, product design and launch, customer-service initiatives: all these can be attached to your CV as evidence of your ability to do the job.

Show how your skills could be used on the job by applying a problem-solving slant in your applications. An article in Bnet describes the skills that humanities grads can uniquely offer business. While science students are taught to predict and test data, arts students are taught to "play with big concepts", and apply new ways of thinking. Arts grads excel in skills that mirror those often seen in job ads: innovation, communication, and customer satisfaction. Draw these out in your applications, describing how you would use them to solve a specific problem in your chosen role.

Do the job you want

In the College of Journalism blog, Josh Halliday points out that extra-curricular work will get you hired – not your degree course.

He tells how one journalism student came to the attention of the production editor at Sky News to land valuable work experience in the newsroom. Even if you're stuck in a dead-end job, find ways to do what you aspire to. Highlight these spare time projects on your CV (over your main role) to show how you're already active in your target industry, and therefore, more work-ready.

Break the mould

Your CV and covering letter will need to stand out if you're to be short-listed. Make sure yours are concise, interesting, and free of stuffy, cliched wording. Most application materials follow a similar format, with the same choice of headings and sections, so grab an employer's attention by letting your personality shine through and breaking a few rules. (Just don't sacrifice focus, accuracy and readability in the process.)

Apply the same strategies as copywriters and marketeers

Start with the headings, which should be descriptive and specific, but also pique your reader's interest. Gayle Howard, an expert CV writer, suggests attracting readers with "Impact" or "Recognition" rather than "Professional experience", for example.

Using numbers or "how to" in titles works for bloggers. Try spicing up your covering letter with a headline such as "Three reasons to hire me" to draw in your reader.

If you apply speculatively, use the subject line of your email as a selling point. Rather than writing "Enquiry for editorial vacancies" try "English grad with sharp editing skills".

Create a rapport with your reader. Do this through well-chosen career stories to keep your reader interested to the end. Keep them engaged by writing tightly and concisely, using short (rather than long) words, and by avoiding corporate-speak, jargon, or long, convoluted sentences.

Use punchy, vivid vocabulary

Don't go for the stale options often seen in CVs.

"Responsible for booking acts for student union" is not very exciting.

"Booked carefully-selected acts making double expected profits" is better.

"Pounced on 'once-in-a-lifetime' acts touring London, cajoling them to perform one-off gigs on campus and doubling student union profits" is far more descriptive of how you achieved success.

Consider an infographic CV or online CV

This one breaks all the rules. It's written in a narrative style, includes a photo, graphics and a splash of colour that's a refreshing difference from the usual black on white background.

Look beyond the usual graduate milkround companies

Small companies can often offer a greater range of challenges and learning experiences. The hours might be longer, but you'll also have the opportunity of seeing different sides to the business, gaining a greater understanding of how the company works in the process. This is helpful if you're not completely clear on your career focus, as you'll have the chance to be involved in a variety of projects.

Use social media to help you find small or niche companies and recruiters that might not have the budget to appear at career fairs or to advertise nationally. Connect with people in your industry to expand your network of contacts, then stay active – aim to build relationships over the long-term. Simon Caine offers excellent guidelines on how best to use Twitter for job-seeking.

Looking in less obvious places also helps. Sara Megan found that Gumtree was a great resource. "Of the five jobs I applied for on Gumtree, I got four interviews and one job offer."

Be the professional everyone wants to employ

In your dealings with a potential employer try to achieve a balance of "can-do" confidence and enthusiasm with humility and desire to learn. Avoid giving the impression that you're entitled through having gained a degree.

Expect rigorous interviews, and don't get rattled by odd or stressful questions. Remember – your personality will be assessed as much as your ability to do the job.

If you're convinced of your aptitude for a particular role, you need to communicate this belief to people with hiring authority. Stay up-to-date with your industry and focused on your eventual goals. This means putting in the hours to build contacts and knowledge, but your efforts and perseverance will pay off.
