Start with the role
Identify the three most important tasks or requirements in the advert. Then choose experience that shows how you can contribute.
- What does the employer need solved?
- What evidence can you provide?
- What should you ask rather than guess?
Make the writing specific
Replace broad claims such as motivated or organised with short examples of responsibility, action and result. The application should complement the CV, not repeat it.
Check before submitting
Verify names, role, facts and contact details. Remove invented or exaggerated wording, and read the text aloud to make sure it still sounds like you.
