I must thank you for your prompt, efficient and personable approach to the job. At a time when life was a little overwhelming, you gave me a degree of advice and confidence that I needed. I was never made to feel like a mere number in your list of jobs, and naturally the time that you took to get to know me and assess my needs shines through in the CV that you have produced. I would not hesitate to recommend your service. (Hospitality Manager)

Very professional. I liked that you gave me an appraisal before ordering, so I was able to see what you thought was wrong. Very satisfied and will come back again and tell me friends about it. As far as my job search is progressing I am happy to say it is over and I found what I was looking for. The CV played a huge role in it I am sure. (Senior Network Engineer)

The purpose of a cover letter is to introduce you as an individual, adding a personal touch each time your CV is sent out. A good cover letter should highlight your core skills and experience, and should generate enough interest for them to read your CV.
The marks of a good Cover Letter!
- The letter MUST be personally addressed to someone by name.
- It must be laid out as a standard business letter.
- It should never be more than one page long.
- It should be printed on a good quality paper, typically 100gsm in weight and watermarked. Ensure that the stationery used for your CV and Cover Letter are the same.
- It must quickly explain what you have to offer.
- Summarise your experience and achievements that are relevant to the job being applied for.
- Highlight the most important points from your CV.
- Persuade the employer that you are confident you can do the job, and convey enthusiasm.
- Keep words, sentences and paragraphs short. It is recommended that there should be no more than four or five paragraphs, or 200 words.
Finally, you need to decide on what type of Cover Letter is best suited to your current situation, a Speculative or Specific Cover Letter. Either way, it is important to research the company you will be sending your CV to.
