The best cover letters are short and powerful and are just one side of A4.

So that's brilliant, your cover letter should only be one side of A4.

One side of A4 is perfect for a cover letter.

Tip number two, make sure you load your cover letter with powerful key words and phrases.

So, if you think about it, the Hiring Manager who reads your cover letter, they will have

Say something at the end that makes them want to interview you.

That makes them want to hire you and then provide them with your contact details at

Telephone number that they can contact you on quickly to invite you to the interview.

And then finally an email address, a professional looking email address, and make sure you check

So if they contact you, don't spend days before you reply.

And also, in respect of your contact telephone number you give them, if there is an answer

phone message, make sure the message is professional.

Number one, that professional introduction is an absolute must.

So when you start off your cover letter or the cover email, make sure you start off with
