It’s therefore best practice to have a template on file that you can adapt and change per application.  \nYou should think of a Cover Letter as being about two things; first, your suitability for a role regarding your skills, knowledge and experience and second, why you are applying for this role at this business. The best Cover Letters outline not only why you’d make a great candidate based on the job description, but why you are excited about the opportunity and the organisation. We recommend keeping three Ps in mind:  \nI. Personalise: Every Cover Letter should be different.  \nII. Passion: Demonstrate why you care about the role – and the organisation.  \nIII. Professional: Spelling, grammar and the right tone for the organisation.  \nBecause every Cover Letter should be different, carry out basic research into the role and the organisation. Read the job or person specification and visit the company’s website and note their cultural values and latest news. Google the company and click ‘news’ to discover announcements or initiatives to reference. Building up sound knowledge of the organisation not only helps you to tailor your Cover Letter, but also demonstrates your passion for the job and sector.  \nHere follows our recommended basic, one-page format for Cover Letters.  \nTOP TIPS:  \n• Your cover letter should be no longer than a single A4 page.  \n• Avoid vague and generic phrases.  \n• Don’t be afraid to experiment with your template, especially for roles in the creative industries.  \nFURTHER READING  \n• How to write a Cover Letter, 31 Tips (The Muse) .  \n• Three excellent Cover Letter examples (The Guardian) .  \n• Your complete guide to writing a cover letter for 2020 (CV Library) .  \n• A selection of online Cover Letter templates can be found here and here.","cbCaidG8SupqLORt","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidG8SupqLORt","pdf",641114,"English","# Personalise Your Cover Letters\n## Purpose of a Cover Letter\n## The Three Ps: Personalise, Passion, Professional\n## Researching the Role and Organisation\n## Recommended One-Page Format\n## Top Tips\n## Further Reading","[{\"question\":\"What are the two main purposes of a cover letter?\",\"answer\":\"A cover letter should show suitability for the role through skills, knowledge, and experience, and explain why the candidate is applying to that specific business.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the “three Ps” framework recommend?\",\"answer\":\"It recommends Personalise (each letter is different), Passion (demonstrate care for the role and organisation), and Professional (use correct spelling, grammar, and the right tone).\"},{\"question\":\"How should candidates tailor a cover letter to the company?\",\"answer\":\"Candidates should research the role and organisation by reading the job or person specification and reviewing the company’s website and recent news, then reference relevant initiatives or announcements.\"}]","Personalise Your Cover Letters - One-Page Format Guide | PDF",1789283527]
