People are busy applying for jobs every day without providing an accurate cover letter to their employers. Sometimes unemployed people spend the little money they have on the internet cafe because they cannot write the cover letter themselves. They would prefer to pay someone to do it for them.
Is it a must to have a cover letter for a job Application?
The answer is not yes and it is no as we all know that we are used to the fact that the company would be specific on their post whether they want a cover letter or not. So, it varies from company to company.
Is it hard to write a cover letter?
No, not at all. If you managed to write letters at school then the cover letter should be very easy to write. There is no need for you to spend money asking someone to write it for you. If you have a smartphone, you can do it on your phone and download it so that you can go and print it. It’s cheaper to print than ask someone to write it for you. If you will be applying for a job online, you will not have to print anything but you will download and save on your pdf and forward your cover letter to where you want to work.
If you want a cover letter
Here is an example of how to write a cover letter for a job application:
You start by writing your address with the date.
You skip one line and start writing Dear Sir/ Madam.
You skip a line and enter the kind of job you are actually applying for example (Application for Teacher Assistant)
You skip a line and start writing
E.g
I would like to apply for a teaching assistant role in your school (the name of the school)
Skip a line and write the body.
I believe this position would provide a good opportunity to further my career as I am an unemployed qualified educator. My willingness to work hard and build my skill base will make me a great candidate for this job.
I currently hold a Bachelor of Education degree, SACE certificate, and automatic driver’s licence and I have my own vehicle.
The high level of practicality in my career will decrease your requirement for training time and mean I am well prepared to assist with working.
I look forward to hearing from you at your convenience
