Cover letter The cover letter in your CV - resume should create an interest in the employer in who you are and what you can do. It is also important that your interest in both the actual job-opportunity and in the company really shows. So adjust the content of your cover letter for each service you are looking for.

There are many good arguments for why you would be the right person for the company. It can be things like your experience, educational background, high interest or personal characteristics. Brief history Do not list all your experiences and educations, only add the ones relevant to the job-opportunity you are applying for. Those who are not as relevant for this particular work you can add in the second part of your CV - resume. Characteristics and skills What are you good at and what are your strengths. What you're looking for? It is important that you always give arguments that are relevant to the job-opportunity you are applying for and that you can verify everything that you mention.
