So you’ve found a great job you’d like to apply for, in which you fulfil most, if not all, the criteria set out.
The next step is likely to have to send out a CV and Cover Letter to show off your experiences, qualifications, a little about who you are and what you can bring to the table.
Like with all the advice here, you need to find what’s right for you, the kind of role you’re applying for and that which fits your personality.
But there are plenty of tips available on creating a top notch CV and Cover Letter to grab the attention of a recruiter and bag an interview.
