Professional Cover Letters

With employers receiving so many CVs these days, a well-written email covering letter will make your application stand out. Gone are the days when you can just say in your email cover letter "Here is my CV". Physically posting your CV, is not recommended as you will appear out of touch with the present job market. These days, you must produce a first-class email covering letter that clearly links your experience, skills and achievements to an employer's real needs. It must demonstrate that you are better than the other applicants and make the reader want to read your CV.

Bradley CVs can prepare a general covering letter, a letter in response to an advert or a speculative letter. If you order a cover letter with your CV then for £149, you can have an expertly written cover letter, matching your skills and experience to an employer's / recruiter's requirements. It will tell them why they should interview you, rather than all the other applicants. Your Consultant will spend two hours working on your cover letter. You save £30 if you order your cover letter at the same time as a CV. This letter would normally cost £179. Below you will find an example of a speculative covering letter.

"The CV and cover letter you wrote for me has been very successful and helped me get a job. In one instance, I got into the second round of interviews with a national company on the strength of my CV and cover letter alone." said John Nicholson, who was made redundant from his previous position.

Miss Janet Timms,
3 January, 2009
Personnel Manager,

Oldbury Foods Limited,

346 Wood Road,

Manchester,

M2 3LL.





Dear Miss Timms,

I am writing to enquire whether you have a vacancy in your company for a Quality Assurance Manager. I enclose a copy of my CV for your consideration.

As you will see from my CV, I am currently working for Gepo Foods as the Senior Quality Assurance Technician. In my present position I am responsible for managing all quality assurance in Gepo Foods' Manchester factory. I have worked closely with the Production Department and have been able to quickly identify problems before they affected production deadlines.

Over the last year I have implemented BS5750/ISO 9000 throughout our factory. This meant rewriting many of the company's procedures and in some cases creating new procedures. I successfully obtained accreditation at the first attempt within the Board's six-month time scale.

With my proven ability to manage and maintain the highest QA standards whilst also minimizing costs, I feel that I would be able to make a significant contribution to your company's management team.

I would be grateful if you would contact me if you have any vacancies in your company, or keep my information on file in case of future openings. I would welcome hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Chris Jackson

Chris Jackson.
