CVs and covering lettersHow do I write a covering letter?
The covering letter and your CV is a total package - your opportunity to sell yourself. It is your own advertisement and you are the product being sold. Don’t waste your golden opportunity to impress. That’s why both your CV and the covering letter are so important. Remember, too, that the letter is going to be read first. If it is badly constructed, contains bad grammar or misspell words, it will affect just how your CV will be looked at. In fact, your CV might not even be read.
A good letter, however, makes an employer sit up and take notice. Your CV will make more of an impact, too. It shows the employer that you know what the job involves and what they want from candidates. It could convince them that you are the best person for the job and just how much you want it.





 
CV formats
The answer to the question 'which format should I use?' is the format that suits your aims and shows you in the best light.
Different CV formats contain mainly the same information but worded in a different way, in different sections and in a different order. These might seem like small changes to make to your CV, but when employers have hundreds to sift through, every little improvement helps.
You can use different CV formats to:
    draw attention to your strengths
    target a specific job
    get across your career aims – to change career or get promotion, for example.
Bear in mind that in all CV formats the personal details, personal profile and qualifications sections remain the same. It's your work history and achievements that change in each format.
