Research

Do some research on the company and the job you’re applying for. Things to know include what the company does, their competitors and where they’re placed in the market.

Not only will carrying out this research give you the knowledge you require to tailor your cover letter and CV to the style of the company, it also demonstrates that you've a real interest in the role and the company itself.

Addressing your cover letter

It may sound obvious, but when writing a cover letter you should always try to address the letter to the person handling job applications. This is usually listed in the job advert. If you’re unsure of the right contact, don’t be afraid to call the company to ask for a name. After all, there’s no harm in showing initiative.

If you know the person, Dear Mr Smith / Dear Ms Jones, and if you don’t; Dear Sir / Madam will suffice.

What to include in your cover letter

Opening the letterThe opening paragraph should be short and to the point and explain why it is that you’re writing.

Example:‘I would like to be considered for the position of ‘IT Manager’.

Second paragraphWhy are you suitable for the job? Briefly describe your professional and academic qualifications that are relevant to the role and ensure you refer to each of the skills listed in the job description.

Third paragraphHere’s your opportunity to emphasise what you can do for the company. Outline your career goal (make it relevant to the position you’re applying for) and expand on pertinent points in your CV.

Fourth paragraphHere’s where you reiterate your interest in the role and why you would be the right fit for the role. It’s also a good time to indicate you’d like to meet with the employer for an interview.

Closing the letterSign off your cover letter with ‘Yours sincerely’ and your name.

How to present your cover letter

Nothing’s more frustrating for recruiters than attempting to read an illegible document. A typed document in an easy-to-read font will ensure the recruiter can scan your cover letter easily. Also, keep it brief. One side of A4 should be sufficient.

We've used the example of a copywriter but you can adapt it for your profession. The aim of a creative letter is to be original and show you have imagination, but understand what the job entails. Balance is essential: don't be too wacky, or it will turn off the reader.

Dear Ms Green,

· Confused by commas? · Puzzled by parenthesis? · Stumped by spelling? · Perturbed by punctuation? · Annoyed at the apostrophe? (And alliteration?)

Well, you're not alone. It seems that fewer and fewer people can write. Unfortunately, there are still a lot of people who can read. So they'll spot a gaffe from a mile off. And that means it's a false economy, unless you're% sure of yourself, to write your own materials. (Or to let clients do it for themselves.)

To have materials properly copywritten is, when one considers the whole process of publishing materials and the impact that the client wishes to make, a minor expense. Sloppiness loses clients, loses customers.

There is an answer. Me. Firm quotes are free. You can see some of what I do on my multilingual website at [insert web address]. If you'd like, I can get some samples out to you within hours. And, if you use me, you'll have some sort of guarantee that you can sleep soundly as those tens of thousands of copies are rolling off the presses.

Luck shouldn't come into it!
