 So, y cofaleta should be a maximum of a page. It should be tailored to a particular company that you are applying for. It can be very, very conscious of the company and the name that you are putting on there because we've had instances where the wrong company name has been sent to us and it just doesn't give a great first impression. It's just really good to show that tension to detail. When it comes to a cofaleta, it actually does depend on which job you're applying for. For example, if you're applying for a communicative role, customer service-facing, or something to do with marketing and communications, you should probably try and have a lengthier cover letter than something that's more technically based. I think a good benchmark is about half a page if you can, but no longer than a full page if you've got a lot to say. Y cofilletaeth yn fawr ymweld ar y cyfletaeth. Felly yn fawr o'r CV, mae'n fawr iawn, mae'n gweithio y lluniau yn ymweld. Fawr ymweld yn fawr, mae'n fawr iawn i'r gweithio ar yr ymweld. Mae'n fawr iawn i'r cyfletaeth yn fawr. Mae'n fawr i'n fawr i'n fawr i'r cyfletaeth ac mae'n fawr i'n fawr i'r fawr i'r fawr i'r cyfletaeth. 6. Mae'r fawr iawn yn fawr? Mae'r fawr iawn yn fawr i'r cyfletaeth yn fawr i'n fawr i'r cyfletaeth yn fawr i'r fawr i'n fawr i'n fawr i'r cyfletaeth oed yn ymweld. Felly maen nhw i fi'n ddweud i'r dd affellu i'r parenth yma a wneud!

The third step would be why PWC, so what attracted you to the role and why do you want to work in this role and work for PWC. And then finally ended off really strongly by reaffirming your skills as well as your enthusiasm for being a part of the process. So for us, I like to see in your structure of your cover letter you introducing yourself, so who you are, what you studied, what role you're applying for. Secondly, we'd like to see that you've done some research into main freight, shows us that you've put some effort in and you actually know who you're applying for. The third part would be why main freight, so you've done the research and what has come out of that that makes you want to apply for us and for why you're a good fit. So skills, values, goals, how does that all kind of filter into that role and the company. So your cover letter is essentially a summary of your CV. It needs to be short, quick to read, but it's essentially your argument for why the recruiter should read on further. A few years ago, prior to my time at Deloitte, I had a gentleman apply for a role. He had no relevant experience really. He'd worked in the States in customer service and it was for a real-tale job, but his cover letter was so well done and so impressive that we got him in front of the manager for an interview and he went on to be top salesman within three months of being with the business. So I put a lot of stock in a cover letter, but it can't just be a regurgitation of your CV. Tell us something different about you. Sell yourself that way. I think genuinely there actually isn't a perfect structure for a cover letter. I think the difference between a good and a bad cover letter is how well you've explained where you're coming from and why you've applied for that role and why you're the right fit. If it's a long cover letter, if it's a short cover letter, that's perfectly fine. But if you can convey to me that you're the right person for this role and you want it genuinely because of what it is and who we are, you'll always stick out more than someone who's done a generic print-off from the internet. When it comes to addressing your cover letter, realistically, if you're a successful candidate it's going to be viewed by a lot of people and that's a good thing. So if you address it to say the recruiter, whether that's myself or Siobhan or the recruitment team, that's perfectly fine. We're not going to hold that against you. And I think as a company we don't really get hung up on formalities when it comes to exactly who it's addressed to, so that shouldn't be something you worry about. However the people that will read your cover letter hopefully, if you're successful, it'll start off being just the recruitment team. And then from there we will send your application out to the other team leads. So everybody really gets to have their say in who becomes next part of family when it comes to Xera. Always remember when you're creating your cover letter to tailor it to the employer that you're applying for. You can use the cover letter to highlight the strengths that are relevant for the role and make sure you tie in the job description with your cover letter. So I guess just additional points for students to know throughout the CV cover letter process. It's really good for us to have it neatly laid out, so black font, keep it simple, things like that. Keep it clear, keep it concise, try to avoid any crazy fonts or adding loads of colours or things like that. It is a professional document and you do want that to come across as your first impression that we get of you as a candidate. So just bear things like that in mind. So some other things that a student needs to know is again proofread. It's really important to make sure that your spelling and your grammar and punctuation are all correct. Also personality, so if you can put an anecdote or something in there to say why main freight is a good fit for you or something quirky about yourself that makes you kind of leap off the page, that's always fantastic. And also make it personal. So if you can find the name of the recruiter, it shows that you've gone a little bit beyond just the surface level research you've taken the time to make it personal to the person who will be reading your CV. Don't copy and paste directly from the company website. Read the company website, but don't copy and paste from it because we know what we've put on the company website and if we've read it from your cover letter we've read it from 500 others. Make sure that one, you are spelling zero right with an X not a Z. Two, that you're not spelling accurate wrong. And also if you're actually applying for the right company. I can't tell you how many times I've seen cover letters where they're at some point in the letter they're using somebody else's name and it's such a shame. I understand it but it's also such a shame. Try and be as accurate as possible and if you need somebody else to read over it get your mum and dad to read over it, it'll be fine. Every year during graduate round we get a number of students who copy their cover letter for each of their applications and use the same one and the reason we know that is because we generally have a competitor's name on the cover letter. That's it, your process is over. The attention to detail required for doing a cover letter is key. So make sure you're addressing it to the right company. If you have met somebody at an event, make sure you mention them. Name job, you've met somebody at an event that's really important to us. So it shows that you've gone along and you've spoken to people who work for Deloitte currently and the reason you're applying to this particular service sign is something that you've thought through and reasoned and got some research done on. The other thing that you should do with your cover letter is that read it out loud, make sure it makes sense and once you're sure it makes sense get a number of other people to read it. Your attention to detail, your grammar, your spelling all need to be just right. So don't let yourself down by not doing these really, really simple things that can mean the difference between you getting an interview with us and not.
