General Covering Letters

A general covering letter introduces you to the employer and explains why you are one of the best candidates applying for a job.  Employers are looking for knowledge, enthusiasm, and focus.  Your professional cover letter, along with your new CV, should provide an accurate overview of your skills, experience and personality. 

Although it is important to tailor a general covering letter to each job you apply for, our professional cover letter writers are experienced in writing covering letters which can easily be adapted for each application.  We state the purpose of the professional cover letter in the opening paragraph and structure the general covering letter so that each part achieves a particular goal.  If you are not quite sure about the kind of jobs you will be applying for, we can include a variety of points from which you can choose the appropriate ones for each and every job application.

Career Change Cover Letters

Many of our customers go through a career change and ask for our support because they are not sure how to pitch the cover letter.  It is tempting to use the career change cover letter to justify to the potential employer why you want to change your career.  However, it is important that you outline in your career change covering letter what you can offer, creating enough interest in your new CV to secure an interview.  Our professional cover letter writers have got the right expertise to focus on your relevant selling points.

Speculative Cover Letters

Speculative cover letters are used to apply for jobs which have not been advertised.  They can be sent directly to a potential employer or to a recruitment agency.  Our professional cover letter writers can help you to effectively write a speculative cover letter to target a specific company or agency.  As recruiters are impressed by evidence of research into their goals, ethos and achievements, we take time to study the company, its goals and the challenges it faces. 

CV Job Application Letter

A job application letter is needed if there is a particular vacancy for which you wish to apply.  Our professional cover letter writers can draft a cover letter which is targeted and optimised towards the job description, addressing the points the employer is looking for.  Just send us the relevant information and our cover letter writers will do the rest.  We will research the company, address their requirements and convey a positive attitude which grabs the employer’s attention.

Cover Letter or Covering Letter?

We often get the question, is the correct term Cover Letter or Covering Letter? Well, both terms are correct. 

Professional cover letters are your first sales pitch to a potential employer. Employers receive hundreds of CVs from people who are applying for the job you want.  Our professional cover letter writers can help you to create a winning document which creates an excellent first impression and entices the reader to find out more.
