Covering Letters

Tailor your application with a great covering letter

One benefit of applying through Infopeople is that you don’t need to write a covering letter. However, when sending a CV direct to a company you should always include one. It should further personalise your application to the specific company by:

• Stating the position you are applying for and where you found out about it
• Explaining your interest in the position, the company and the industry
• Highlighting your relevant skills and experience which make you suitable for the job
• Addressing any requirements stated in the job application
• Stating when you are available for interview

As with your CV, keep it concise, easy to read, grammatically correct and check for spelling mistakes.
