A well written, clean and precise CV can make the right first impression which could be a deciding factor to be called for an interview.  A good CV will: 

 

• Be visually balanced

• Will have the right format for the job type

• Get the attention of employers

• Sell your strongest skills 

• List relevant experiences

• Get you the interview! 

 

A cover letter is as important as the CV.  It is your opportunity to stand out from the rest and allow the employer to get to know you as more than just a candidate.  This is your chance to become a more attractive candidate for the specific job.  A good cover letter will: 

 

• Get immediate attention from the employer

• Display a clear connection between yourself and the company culture

• Be well structured, easy, and interesting to read
