Covering Letters

Covering Letters 

ivotopis je napsan, stač ho jen poslat. K tomu potřebujeme průvodn dopis: The covering letter:

John Courtis:  They are desperately important. The covering letter has got to earn readership for the CV. If you don't send a covering letter that tempts people to turn over and read the next page you have failed.

Mike McDodd  (European advisor): Never send a CV on its own - as more than likely it'll end up in the wastepaper basket! Even if you haven't been required to send a covering letter, it's polite to just send two -three lines of text to explain this is my CV, who you are and why you sent it if necessary.

Průvodn dopis m vyvolat chuť přečst si ivotopis. Napsat takov dopis nen tak těk, jak to vypad. Mike McDodd rad rozdělit si dopis na čtyři čsti:

In most cases you'll need to send a detailed covering letter - in general that has information in four parts - which is relating to the specific reason you are writing the letter. Next you might be expanding on what your motivation is,  to be applying for the job. In the third section you'll be showing what relevant skills which you can bring to the job itself. And finally a short polite end to the letter.
