COVER LETTER
Cover letters vary according to the type of application required – but never provide more than one A4 page. If asked to address selection criteria:
do so in a separate ‘Response to selection criteria’ document, make your cover letter brief,highlight a few key points about yourself – save the
detail for the selection criteria document, outline your interest in the position.
When there are no formal selection criteria: provide more evidence of your skills and experience in your cover letter, read the advertisement
and/or position description carefully to determine what skills and experience are required, if necessary, call the company for more information
and/or ask for a position description. Click here for an example of resume.
