Cover letters
A cover letter is a document presented together with the curriculum to show the hiring company our profile as a worker. The cover letter must have a formal greeting, an introduction explaining why you are sending the document, a body describing your professional and academic skills and a closing, where you say thank you. You can also ask questions about what it wasn't clear in the ad. ​
​
Here are some tips the eTwinners think are important when writing a cover letter:
Make it simple and be persuasive
The language you use must be simple. Write the skills you have in the cover letter and to try to convince the recipient.
Talk about your experience
Talk about your experience in the specific workfield.
Show enthusiasm
and be friendly
Showcase your accomplishments: Use specific examples to demonstrate your skills and experience.
Check spelling
After writing your cover letter, check spelling and grammar mistakes.
