Cover Letter Essentials for Entry-Level Applications

A practical guide to writing cover letters that connect your story to the employer’s needs.

Start with purpose

Your cover letter should complement your CV, not repeat it. Open with a compelling introduction, explain why you are interested in the role and organisation, and show evidence of relevant skills.

Write with clarity

Keep paragraphs short, maintain a professional tone, and close with a confident call to action. Always customise each letter—generic applications rarely stand out.

Proofread before sending

Read the letter aloud, check the hiring manager’s name, and confirm you have addressed the key requirements in the job description.
