Employability Skills - Writing A Supporting Statement/Cover Letter

If you're starting a job search, getting your cover letter or supporting statement right is just as important as perfecting your CV. After hours spent crafting your CV, it can seem a little unnecessary to transfer the information into letter format. However, your cover letter shouldn't be a regurgitation of your CV. Instead, it should zoom in on a few key skills and experiences on your CV that the employer values the most. As a result, your cover letter should be bespoke for every application.
