To ensure the employer or recruitment consultant reads your resume and confirms your place on the short list for an interview for the part time job.

Now that your resume is finished, you're ready to write your cover letter. An essential tool in creating a professional impression, your cover letter should not be undervalued.
Make sure to...

• Take your time
• Demonstrate that you've read the part time job advertisement - match your skills and experience to the role requirements by using key phrases identified in the job ad
• Check for spelling mistakes
• Keep it brief and get to the point – your letter should be no more than one page
• Use short sentences, even highlighted words to communicate your key selling points
• Clearly identify the person to whom you're sending the letter

Always Include...

• Your return address
• Their address
• The date
• Your contact details marked clearly with your preferred method of communication. How would you most like them to contact you
