HOW TO WRITE A COVER LETTER
If you’ve ever applied for a job, you’ll know that writing 
the cover letter is the most difficult part of almost any job 
application. Your cover letter creates the first impression, and 
often determines whether an employer will even look at your CV.
You need to use this opportunity to introduce yourself and your 
skills, and to set yourself apart from all the other candidates. 
You can also use this opportunity to explain any gaps in your CV,  
and to motivate why you are the right person for the job.
