What is a Cover Letter?
A cover letter complements your resume/CV and in most cases, is a requirement to apply for jobs.
A cover letter is one of the best ways to make a good first impression with your potential employers as this is one of the first things they may be reading from/about you. It also displays your strong writing skills.
It is also a great way for you to answer the following questions:
- Why are you the right fit for the job?
- How will you add value to the organisation?
Tip: An average recruiter only spends around 7 seconds skimming through your documents, so make sure you put things that are really important!
