Application letter or cover letter?

These terms often refer to the letter accompanying a CV, explaining interest and experience. If an employer requires an additional separate motivation letter, follow the advert. Complete includes one CV and one cover letter.

Apply online for a new job

Tailor documents to the job: advert requirements and real examples. For apprenticeships describe interests, school and placements; for career changes explain transferable skills. Review and submit by the required email or portal.

Make your letter specific

1. Give the exact job title and employer if known.
2. Add the advert or describe key requirements.
3. Explain your interest and give supported experience examples.

How do I write an application?

1. Read the advert: Note tasks and requirements matching your experience.
2. Prepare your CV: Enter experience, education, languages and skills with correct dates.
3. Write the letter: Explain motivation and suitability with specific examples.
4. Check the documents: Check names, contacts, job title, spelling and claims about your history.
5. Send the application: Follow required documents and submission method.

Cover letter structure

Contacts, recipient, place, date and clear subject. After the greeting explain interest; connect experience and tasks. Close with interest in an interview, sign-off and name.

Specific wording example

Instead of “reliable and customer-focused”, give real experience: “I handled customer enquiries and met agreed response deadlines.” Only use if true and adapt to your experience.

What the preview does for you

Check motivation and experience. Without role details the letter is more general. Reject invented achievements, qualifications or employers and correct before buying.
