So you\u2019ve created your CV. Unless you have to fill in an application form, it\u2019s likely that you\u2019ll also need a Cover Letter.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Welcome to another useful\u00a0function on The CORE, The Cover Letter Builder!\u00a0Very similar to the CV builder, this tool takes you through the process of writing your cover letter, step-by-step.<\/p>\n

Access it under the same tile as the CV Builder, \u201cCVs and Applications\u201d. Clicking ‘Create Your Cover Letter’ takes you straight through to the builder.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you are not sure what a cover letter should include, click on \u201cLearn More\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This section runs through the dos and don\u2019ts of what makes a good cover letter and provides prompts to help you present your skills and experience in the best light. Take a look at what makes a good cover letter and make use of the hints and tips.\u00a0Once ready, you can return to the home page and start working\u00a0on the builder…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Work through each section and include the content you need, taking into account the job description and person specification for the role you\u2019re applying for.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Examples are available for you to view at each stage.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Correctly structuring your covering letter is the first step to getting it right.<\/p>\n

Click on the \u2018Sections\u2019 button for an overview of the sections needed in your cover letter.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You are given the opportunity to save the document to your computer, print, or save to your CORE documents, which can be accessed from the ‘My Account’ drop-down on the main dashboard.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And that’s it! You now have your completed cover letter to use for your next job application. Don’t forget to tailor this for each application that you make.<\/p>\n
