Writing a cover letter
The main function of your covering letter is to attract and maintain the recruiter’s attention by instantly emphasising your interest and suitability for the job. It is important to bear in mind that a covering letter is a communication between yourself and an organisation, so the perfect covering letter needs to work at every stage of its hierarchy. |

Interview Technique
You’ve applied for the job of your dreams and expected to be invited to an interview. Instead, because you have applied to a particularly forward-thinking organisation, you have been contacted and asked to participate in a telephone interview. So what do you do?

Employer Application Forms
Many employers require applications to be made on their own application forms (EAF). Sometimes they may ask for a standard application form (SAF) to be completed – these are available from your university careers office or you can download it from this site. If a completed application form is asked for, do not substitute a CV or enclose a CV with ‘see CV’ written across a section of the form. |
