Every great CV requires a great cover letter

Cover Letters

Cover letters are a critical part of the job application process.

Its purpose is to introduce you to the employer as a strong candidate and briefly illustrate how your skill and experience match those needed to do the job.

If you are wondering if you should include a cover letter with your CV or application, the answer is ‘yes’, unless it has been specifically stated in the application instructions that one should not be included. A well-written cover letter gives you the chance to sell yourself to the employer in a narrative format, as opposed to a formal CV, and affords you the opportunity to highlight your strongest qualifications. It will also make clear why you are interested in the job and the organisation.

A cover letter also gives you the chance to include details which would not normally found in the CV. For example, if you are applying from a different location or leaving the forces, you will be able to present a rationale for relocating.

Writing an impactful cover letter takes practice. Whilst we need to write a targeted letter which goes beyond the information in your CV, it’s important to keep it short and sharp.

All of our CV Services include the option for a professionally-written cover letter.

Cover Letters are available with all of our CV Packages

Forces CV Services recently completed my CV as I finished my time in the military 3 years ago and had not updated it since. From the start communication was excellent; from advising on which package to request to providing in depth questions to enhance the roles I had already undertaken. The comprehensive response was just what I required and as previous sceptic of paying someone to write your CV, I am totally grateful to Sian on what she provided. With the package I requested, a covering letter and additional cv for an alternative role plus updates for 12 months this is a worthwhile investment in your own career. Thank you Forces CV Services. I truly appreciate your work and obviously recommend others to contact you.

I start a new position on Monday and would like to pass on my thanks to Forces CV Services for helping me with my CV. It can be no coincidence that a month after my new CV ‘went live’ I had 5 interviews and was offered 3 of those positions. I have also turned down 3 more interviews since accepting my new role. If anybody is after CV advice, especially ex-forces/service leavers, I would highly recommend Forces CV Services.
