Job application - online form, CV AND cover letter

1 reply

I'm in the middle of completing a job application through an online application system, which asks for the standard information including career / education history and then a large section titled suitability for the role which asks the candidate to show how they meet the requirements for the role. All fine.

But in the job description they also ask for a completed CV and a cover letter to highlight how you meet the essential criteria.

I am used to either doing an online application or CV/cover letter but not all. How do I do this so the cover letter is not just a copy of the role suitability section? As far as I can tell both are pretty much asking for the same thing just using different wording.

Help! It may be that I am overthinking this and they are expecting some overlap...

They probably expect you to have a CV already.

Most of the jobs I apply to are by CV. A few then ask for a few more details on an application form.

The covering letter is to check your English language skills as it isn't unusual for people to have extensive help with their CV and application form.
