Employment
When you apply for a job, you may need to fill in a company application form which asks for personal details, your qualifications, and your work history. Alternatively, you may be asked to supply a curriculum vitae (CV), which gives similar information, but which you write yourself.
In either case, you will need to write a covering letter to go with the application form or CV. Most jobs will have been advertised in the papers or specialist publications, and before you write your covering letter you should study the wording of the advertisement carefully. Find out exactly what the employer is looking for (for example, a certain amount of experience, familiarity with particular languages, etc.). Then, in your covering letter, try to show that you have all the qualities, qualifications, and experience that the employer is looking for. You should not simply repeat all the information in the CV; you should highlight the most important parts.
