Covering Letter



Objective of Covering Letter?
Covering letter is the first impression that a potential employer has on your job application.  It has to create a good impression that lead the potential employer to continue reading the attached Resume.


What to be Included?

  • how you know about the vacancy and the post applied for.  If you are applying unsolicited (not responding to an advertisement), specify why you are interested in the company.
  • highlight how your qualification and skills matched to the job requirements.
  • request for an interview to discuss your application - indicate how you can be contacted.


Watch Out!
  • checked there is no spelling or grammatical errors - do a 100% check.
  • avoid repeating the resume - highlight only key qualities or skills that are relevant to the job that you are applying. 
  • do not use standard letter - customized for each job application and show the potential employer your interest in the job application.
