Cover Letter

What is a Cover Letter?

A one page letter from you to the potential employer outlining the following;

• The position you are applying for
• Your current situation
• Your interest in applying for the position
• Addressing any requirements of the advertisement
• Your key experience, skills, strengths or qualifications in relation to the position
• Evidence of how you are suitable for the role
• Summary of key strengths relevant to the role

The cover letter is then attached to the front of the résumé and submitted as your application.  The cover letter will be the first thing the recruiter sees, therefore you need to make sure that it makes a lasting impression.  You can achieve this by;

• A clear logical layout
• No mistakes
• Well written and concise information stating your suitability for the position.

Rather than waste time on preparing the letter yourself, why not let the professional staff at Impressions Career Services prepare the letter for you. This way you will maximise your chances of receiving an interview by presenting a professional and well written letter that grabs the recruiter's attention .
