Covering
Letter CV
What is a Covering Letter CV for?
All CVs should be accompanied by a covering
letter. The covering letter cv has several
purposes:
- it allows you to say why you are applying;
- it sets the tone for the CV;
- it is often the first thing a recruiter takes a look
at.
Although some authors suggest you produce
a fairly standard CV and put your main efforts into tailoring
the covering letter cv,
we do not suggest it as the best approach. Do not think that
"one size fits all" approach to your CV can be compensated
for by a fully customized covering letter cv. The CV which
usually gets more attention, and generally it is the CV that
is used as a guide to the interview questions.
Covering letter cv should be taken seriously.
However, it is crucial to tailor the CV for each job to get
the interview.
