Here are some tips for writing a cover letter to attach to your CV.
The cover letter is a summary of the curriculum vitae to be attached to the application that is sent for a ** job offer . It is important to write it correctly because it is generally the first thing a recruiter reads to get an idea of ** how the candidate tells himself and presents himself at a glance . A cover letter is to all intents and purposes an explanation of the curriculum vitae, therefore how this must be customized on the basis of the skills that you want to highlight for the ** job position ** open to which you are applying.
The cover letter must explain why the candidate is the right person to fill ** the job offer ** or to join the company. To prepare an effective letter, you must first collect as many details as possible about the company and the desired position: with a lot of information it will be easier to write an effective and successful cover letter. All this information can be found on the company's website, but also on the company's social channels. The data collected is used to adapt your letter to the style and tone used by the company.
** 1. Underline the reasons ** that prompted you to respond to that specific ** job offer **, the stimuli, the reason why you chose that company rather than another. The cover letter is an opportunity to express yourself at your best (but don't write a novel!).
2. Highlight the strengths : real strengths can be internships, work experiences, theses and research on topics of business interest, certified knowledge of multiple languages and also a particular personal interest in strategic company activities. This will be useful especially in the case of a cover letter for the spontaneous application: make yourself really interesting.
** 3. Be comprehensive **: A good cover letter is neither too long nor too short, but it is complete. A recruiter will surely notice if you are motivated and if your ** hiring ** can bring added value to the company: these are the characteristics that must catch the eye of the cover letter.
** 4. Write in an orderly and well-structured ** form and content, and no longer than 10-12 lines. Nothing, absolutely nothing, is more harmful to a cover letter than spelling or typing errors, synonymous with lack of attention and reliability. It is advisable to reread it several times after writing.
** 5. Always highlight your qualities and skills **, but not as a simple list, rather motivate them with your experiences and concrete examples in which to show, contextualizing them, the skills acquired.
