A winning Cover Letter.

This probably looks to you as straight forward topic to you but be sure there are people who still get the cover letter wrong at this age. Today, we will concentrate on giving you tips and components of a good cover letter. Just as a point of note, there are so many questions surrounding the sending your CV and cover letter through email.  Job seekers are concerned whether to send an emails’ body as the cover letter or attach it as an attachment. Please do both for the sake of the employer because they may want to print the cover letter for records and thus in this case they will prefer an attachment and because you want to express your need in an organized manner once someone opens your email, have it also as the body of the e-mail.

There should be basic components of a cover letter which if a human resource executive looks at, he will immediately see you through it.

Ø  It should be clear and explanatory with a lot of precision.

Ø  The font should be the same as that on the CV. If you have two different fonts it shows a little bit of clumsiness.

Etiquette around fellow interviewees.

This is probably one of the most ignored areas of an interview and trust me it will not even arouse your interest until I tell you a true life experience. After my university studies back in the days, I went to an interview in Garden Square along Westland Road and innocently I did not know what to anticipate. We were then directed into some room that seemed like a meeting/ conference area. All of us looked at each other without knowing what to do. What do you expect from around fifteen very nervous interviewees? Silence engulfed the air as we went through what we could say in the interview room in silence. For about ten minutes no one spoke to the other, until one noisy guy started talking to the neighbor and engaging others in a conversation around the EPL (English Premier League). That is where it all began and after around one hour, we noticed nobody had been called in for the formal questioning. When we raised this then we were told to wait a little longer and after another hour, an employee of the organization walked in only to ask us to go home and we will be called. After a few days, around five of us were called in for an interview and three of us were taken. When I reported to the office after a week, I saw two faces that were in that room working already and when we enquired, we were informed that they were human resource personnel.

What to look for in job advert before applying for it.

Many candidates and job applicants are qualified differently thus it becomes very hard for human resource experts to select those to call in for an interview. But just think for a minute, where should they start from in doing their short listing? Obviously at the irrelevant applicants, come to those relevant but not qualified, the overqualified and then list those to call in. At this point what your CV portrays is very important and thus try to match your CV with the job applied for. Be very careful when deciding to apply for a job, look at the following features:

1.   Background/ General Description of the organization:  This is a very important part of a job advert. It helps you to understand the kind of organization you are applying to. People have different tastes of companies in which they want to work and thus the background information gives insight to the kind of industry the company operates in, the general activities of the company and where it should be classified. In this section you need to ask yourself a few questions before you apply to that organization because this is where the information is. There are people who hold different opinion about some organizations and thus will not apply a job to those places. If it is a project or an NGO then you will know from this.
