 How to write a Curriculum Vitae 

What should your letter contain?

 Back 

The purpose of the letter of introduction is, firstly, to express your interest in the position advertised and to introduce yourserlf; secondly, to convince the empoloyer that you are the right person for the job; and thirdly, to introduce your Curriculum Vitae. Therefore, it ought not to contain superfluous information that may bore the reader, or information that is already included on the CV.

    If your letter of introduction is in response to an advert, you should make reference to the advert.
    If you are applying to a company on spec, you should introduce yourself to the would-be employer in the first part of your letter.
    An explanation of your interest in both the company you are applying to and the job you are applying for.
    The fact that you are eager to speak in greater depth about why you think you are suited to the job.
    A salutation.
