Hi all,

I am now in my final year at Uni and I am looking at applying for graduate jobs. The thing is I’m not sure what to put in a covering letter which most jobs require? Any pointers would be great

Cheers

You’re in your final year and you still don’t know the difference between “advice” and “advise”?

*Wanders off muttering about falling standards in education these days*

Bless!

Maybe he is after those of us with time machines so we can go back in time and give advice some time ago?

🙂

A covering letter is basically, “hi, I’d like to apply for this job which I’ve seen in (blah) as I believe it would be an excellent match for my skills. Please find attached CV for your convenience. Love and hugs, etc”

It doesn’t have to be war and peace, your CV provides detail.

And as others have alluded to, advise is a verb and advice is a noun. If you’re weak on stuff like this (as opposed to just CBA on a forum), get someone to proof-read it for you.

speculative or actual jobs?
E- mail me and I will send you one but not till weds when I am back at work .
I advise people by giving them advice
HTH
Ok First Para
I am applying for the position of seen in [wherever you saw it]or a general enquiry if speculative
Para 2 As you can see from my CV I have frittered away my life at taxpayers expense and am now almost literate and bankrupt WHATEVER IT IS THAT WIL GET YOU THE JOB INTERVIEW – key skills , competencies , knowledge – if they only know one thing from your cv make it this bit
Para 3 thanks for your time contact me on x available for immedaite start hugs kisses etc
SIGN it learn yours faithfully or sincerely and use correctly

A more long winded approach here. Don’t forget there isn’t a quick way, you’ll have to right individual and job specific letters to each potential employer.

The GF is the proof reader for myself so I’ll be certain to have her look it over before I send it out.

Junkyard it’s an actual job see below

Cheers for the help

S.

Get in quick, I’ve just sent off my application, cheers for the link. 😉

Will do, thanks again for the pointers guys.

I would do something even more long winded for that – email in profile and i will see what I can do to assist

LOL at the Captain, if only I’d got to this thread one hour earlier … 😉
