STRICTLY NO 'DEAR SIR/MADAM' ALLOWED!
A targeted cover letter should accompany every CV when applying for a position. It is just as important as your application. A cover letter needs to be specific in every way, if it is to enhance your CV.
Whether it is an ‘expression of interest’ letter, which you send when targeting organisations that you would like to work for, or a ‘letter of application’ accompanying your CV in application to a specific advertised job vacancy, this document is the first impression you make to an employer.
For maximum impact, it is critical that your cover letter connects you with the employer and showcases how your strengths match with an organisation’s requirements.
