Answer 2

Ok, are you going to hand them in person or via e-mail or something? Because it differs. Anyway, a cover letter is the instrument through which you present yourself to the employer as being the perfect candidate for the position available in his company.

The cover letter is actually standard in format, but you should have it targeted to the specific of the job you are applying for. In this regard, I recommend you these suggestions:

Good luck!

PS: if you send it via e-mail, you should have it written in the body of the e-mail, and the CV as an attachment.

It really depends. You want it short, but, arouse interest as to what comes next.

"Introducing Alexandra"
A woman of knowledge; Willing to learn new concepts!
A woman of personality; Outgoing and well informed!
A woman of interest; Various hobbies.
A woman of benefits; If she can not benefit your company, she not want the job.
Want to meet this woman? Then look inside!

I have not had many jobs. I not a job hopper. I work for a company I want to stay with and grow. This cover letter, may not sound good to many people. That OK. But, I never not get a job, I not want!!!
You not have to copy and paste. But, think and build an interest that will cause the Personal Manager to want to read. You not overkill but get the curiosity going. Then you better have the cannon loaded and ready to fire inside.

Research the company to be well informed. Never go for a job interview and not know about the company.
