The Importance of a Strong Cover Letter


Whilst applying for a job is relatively easy (certainly through CV-Library), making a strong application isn’t so simple.

Along with a well-structured, neatly formatted and grammatically correct CV, your cover letter needs to be concise, tailored for each role you apply for and most importantly contain a few key elements which can help you stand out from the crowd and get that vital interview.

A cover letter is a formal introduction to you, your CV and your reasoning for wanting to work for the company you are applying to. A good cover letter tells the recruiter of your passion and interest in the field you are applying to work in, it highlights two or three key skills that can be brought to the business, and ultimately your desire to meet for an interview.
