You already have a resume, but are stuck on that cover letter?

There are two types of cover letters – generic and job specific. You will need generic if you are planning on putting in an application for several similar jobs (e.g. in retail) that require a similar skill set. You will need a job specific cover letter if you are applying for one job and there are certain skills listed that need to be individually addressed.

Your cover letter is the best opportunity to showcase your written communication skills and motivation for applying for the role. Writing a cover letter tailored to the job description, demonstrates your thoughtfulness and time taken to support your application. Your cover letter as an opportunity to highlight and provide more detail on specific skills or experience which are relevant to the role you are applying for.When writing your own cover letter, you may miss the opportunity to make an outstanding first impression.
