Owning a highly effective, well written cover letter is a secret that many jobseekers employ; There are two types of cover letter Speculative and Specific.

Why have a Cover letter?

A cover letter is very different to a CV, it allows for an opportunity to present personal and professional motive and gives reasoning as to why you are applying for a vacancy in detail rather than bullet or keyphrases style, a cover letter can be a creative document whereas a CV follows a more rigid format.

A cover letter is also very likely to be the first document that the employer will read, and is an unique opportunity which directs attention to your application; jobseekers that decide not to write a cover letter are literally giving away a golden opportunity to promote themselves and decreases the impact and amount of attention from their application.
