So, I've seen a job advertised that I'd really like to do! It's closely related to but not exactly like my current job, so in a different type of organisation but same sort of level of seniority. Its the kind of job that could attract very good candidates from a range of backgrounds so I'd love to write a covering letter that really stands out!
Obviously I know to try and tick off as many of the key skills/ experience points as I can, and to sound enthusiastic about the organisation and role... but can anyone else tell me what makes for a really good covering letter? And would you tend towards lengthy but covers everything or short and punchy? I usually try to stay in one page but that limits how many skills you can cover off i think.
Thanks in advance!
