Cover letters

A cover letter gives you room to explain what a CV cannot: why you want this job, why you are moving, when you can start and how your experience fits the role. A short, specific letter is usually stronger than a long, general one.

The articles here cover cover letters and application emails for tradespeople, nurses and people applying from another country, with example paragraphs, sign-offs and a simple structure you can adapt for each job.
