You know the one thing I did wrong at an interview was, I PRESUMED they knew things, I didnt go into it in depth, it was all so obvious to me... of course I would do that, thats basic stuff. But you can be after jobs that joe bloggs off the street is also applying for, or being forced to attend an interview thanks to winz etc. An effective cover letter should explain the reasons for your interest in the organization and in the job you are applying for. Make sure that your letter explains how your skills relate to the criteria listed in the job posting. Best of luck jobsearch.about.com/od/coverlettersamples/a/coverlettsample.htm |

Another job I applied for I started it out with...
If youre looking for a team player, someone with a good sense of humour and at the same time someone who appreciates detail, time restraints & honesty... then I am all those things...
Hi I'm **** and I am writing to apply for the job of....
Then I went onto the job description
They sent me a reply saying ty I was their 2nd choice, I got another job, a few weeks later they offered me that job, the one they employed left 3 weeks after starting lol

If you've been involved with kindy school committees, etc, get a reference letter from the powers that be
If you helped get something up & running put it in writing
If you were on a fundraising group, detail it
You may think you havent used skills but you have

Yes you do! & the idea is to catch their attention in the first couple of sentences
Keep us informed, best of luck
