Applications & Cover Letters
Online applications
With the current progression of technology and its mergence with business
processes, large numbers of companies are making it a requirement for
potential candidates to submit their applications online. Therefore,
first impressions are now relayed through the quality and content of
your e-mails.
When applying on-line you should always send an email along with your
CV. This email should be direct and to the point. Explaining why you
are interested in the position with a focus on how your experience can
fill the employers’ needs. Highlight your relevant achievements
and state how and when the employer can reach you.
Employment Cover Letters
Employment cover letters should be used as another sales document to
get you an interview. A well written cover letter can only help to make
a great first impression.
Your cover letter should be addressed to the relevant hiring manager,
explaining why you are contacting them with a focus on how you can fill
their needs. It should highlight your relevant accomplishments and state
how the employer can reach you.
Online Application forms
Some employers will use Online Job Application forms as a way to filter
out unsuitable candidates.
When filling out an online application form you should carefully read
all the instructions. So you know precisely what you are doing, always
thoroughly check each page completed before moving on to the next. Finally
regularly save your application as there is nothing more frustrating
than having to start all over again should your PC crash!
Application forms
Some employers will use Job Application forms in addition to reviewing
your CV and cover letters as a way to filter out unsuitable candidates.
To fill out application forms as quickly and efficiently as possible
you should read the entire form before starting. If you know you will
be filling out an application bring your CV to ensure you have all the
required information. Avoid leaving any sections blank and always proof
read the application from before handing in.
