CV Cover Letter – What To Know
When applying for any job it is important to remember that a CV is usually not enough for employers to consider you for an interview. As such, it is vital to include a CV Cover Letter to accompany the document.
What is a Cover Letter?
A cover letter is the first page of your CV. It is not an addition, rather a letter to the employer to entice them to read your CV. Therefore, it is important that you write a cover letter that is appealing and not one sentence like: “Enclosed you will find my CV”
