TOP TIP: Use the same language you see in the job description. If it talks about ‘good timekeeping’, mention your good timekeeping in your cover letter. If it talks about enthusiam or willingness to learn, talk about your enthusiasm and willingness to learn.

Check your email often to see if your employer has replied Check your spam folder to make sure important emails haven’t got lost there Return any missed calls on your phone Wait a few weeks before contacting to ask about the progress of your application and if they have made a decision.

Check for spelling mistakes, the name of the person you address your cover letter to, and check you are not being too casual in the language you use.

Avoid starting your cover letter with casual greetings like ‘Hi’ or ‘Hey there’. Start off with ‘Dear…’ and add the correct name for the person you have been told to contact. Make sure you get the name right with no spelling mistakes.

Not every job asks you to write a cover letter. If you are asked to write a cover letter, make sure you do – don’t just email them your CV. Show the employer you can understand and follow instructions to the letter.

If you’re asked to write a cover letter, write one. If you’re asked to email a specific person, email them with the address given and address them by name in your email. Double-check the instructions to make sure you’ve followed them to the letter.

A cover letter is your chance to stand out from the crowd. Don’t just copy and paste the same cover letter to all the jobs you apply for. Write a fresh new cover letter for each one, to make sure it really feels like the job you are applying for is one you genuinely care about.

Talk about the skills mentioned in the job description, say that you have these skills and show how you have used them in past work and/or life experience. Use the cover letter as your chance to show the employer you would really like to work for that company and feel you would be a good fit for the job (say why).

If you sign up to a jobs board, you may be asked to fill in your CV details as an online form when you register. If you’ve already made a standard CV, you will find it easier to copy and paste in the details as needed.

Any job vacancy advertised online will have a job description. It gives you an idea of what kind of work you would be doing, where you’d be working and what the hours and salary would be like. It will also say if there are any qualifications or skills you might need for the job.

Once you click ‘apply’, you can’t go back and make any changes to your job application. Make sure you’re totally happy with it before you send it on its way!

If no person is mentioned, you can always write ‘Dear team’. Never put ‘Dear Sir’, because the person reading your online application might not be a man.
