Before writing a good
curriculum vitae, you must have a good knowledge on how to write a cover
letter. A cover letter typically accompanies your CV and explains the reasons
for your interest in the specific organization and identifies your most
relevant skills or experience. Your cover letter is the first thing your
prospective employer wants to see, and possibly the only option to catch a
prospective employer’s attention before going through your CV or RESUME. A
cover letter designed in a form letter will be thrown into the trash bin. Writting a perfect cover letter is often a big task for most job seeker’s. Research by
forum 3 shows that those who included a letter with their CV were 10% more likely to receive
a reply and those who addressed
the covering letter and enveloped to the correct name person were 15% more
likely to receive a letter of acknowledgement and
5% more likely to gain an
interview. They also found out that 60% of CVs are mailed or addressed to the
wrong person, with the managing director being the main beneficiary of the
unsolicited mail.
The cover
letter attached to CV is like a pilot in a plane. A plane without a pilot, the
crash is inevitable. A well written and addressed cover letter is the pilot;
the CV is the plan while the prospective employer is the final destination…Salako

Those who
write a relevant cover letter and CV stand out like a diamond in the midst of
Gold and a joy to shortlist…Salako Ayodele.
