Your cover letter can be the difference between landing a role and not being considered… and a CV is just as important.

If you want to know how to write great cover letters and CVs that will enhance your chances, this is what you need to know:

• Tailor it: Make sure what you send is specific to the role you’re applying for and shows your personality.
• Highlight your strengths: Outline your key experience and any skills that match the role.
• Keep it professional: Remember that your cover letter and CV are your chance to make a first impression, so it’s important to keep it professional.
• Check it: Whatever you do, don’t forget to proofread and edit before you press send!

There’s a whole lot more to be said about this – after all, it is a key component of any job search! So, for more information and top tips, you can request access today or message us for FREE access to our eBook, Cheat Codes for Writing Great Cover Letters & CVs.

3.      Combatting The “No Job, No Experience” Cycle

When you can’t get a job because you have no experience, but you can’t get experience because you don’t have a job! It can feel like an impossible cycle to break, but there are things you can do.

So, where should you look for jobs when you have no experience?

• Online job boards: Keep an eye on the latest roles in your chosen industry across different job boards.
• LinkedIn: Follow big names and exciting brands in the sector – this is also a great way to stay up to date with relevant industry news.
• Careers fairs: Have a look for job fairs in your area – they’re the perfect opportunity to network, ask questions, and see what’s out there!
• Work with a recruiter: Try partnering with a recruiter that understands your target industry, the entry-level requirements, and has industry connections.

Here’s how good personal branding can support you in your job search:

Let’s sum up the steps you’ll need to be successful at the interview stage:

• Preparation: You can never be too prepared! Make sure you’ve done your research, you’re organised and as focused as possible.
• Presentation: Remember that how you present yourself and how comfortable you are will be key to success.
• First impressions: Did you know 80% of communication is non-verbal? And that 80% of interviews are decided within the first 5 minutes? Make it count.

• Closing: Had a great interview? Now it’s time to leave them with a good impression. Show your interest, and let them know your intentions.
