Insight 2: Don't forget the cover letter

There are only a certain number of things that can be accommodated in a CV. This is where a good cover letter comes in handy. It also adds a personal touch to your job application.

Take some time off to write an accompanying letter that sums up your work experience, strengths and aspirations.

Don't cram the cover letter into the CV itself. Write it on a separate sheet of paper and address it to the person to whom you are sending your job application.

Addressing it 'To whomsoever it may concern' sounds rude.
