4) Application documents
You can usually expect the potential employer or recruitment consultant to peruse your application for about half a minute before they make a decision as to whether or not you are an interesting candidate for the position and should be invited for an interview. You do not really have much time in which to impress the reader that you are the right person for the job. Well thought-out and written application documents can seldom win you the job, but they can give you that important chance to be invited for an interview.
Application documents include:
– Application letters
– CVs and references
– Degrees, Diplomas and other certification
A good starting point is to write a CV that is adapted to the position you are applying for, and then to write a letter of application that reinforces points you wish to emphasise (any other documents required for a particular application should be specified in the advertisement). A good rule is that a CV should contain everything that you have achieved, while the application letter should describe what you have learnt from everything that you have achieved.
