A few points to consider,

- if it is reply to an advert answer all points written in the ad

- Try to set yourself apart from the rest, generally if you are applying you have the skills they are looking for, but show what you will bring with these skills.

Typical layout would be something like

Intro Para - I wish to apply for this job ________. I am ________

2nd Paragraph - discuss how you meet the key criteria that they require

3rd paragraph - Other points

Final - Thanks I'm Keen, please contact me on _____ and if you have any questions.

Regards, ____

the cover letter is the most important part of the application. It is where your potential employer uses the cover letters to distinguish between the crap and the good applicants. Your aim is to tell them why they should continue to read your resume over others. If your cover letter is a good one then you will most prolli get chosen to go ahead further. Like L3nny states above, you dont want to ramble on irrelevant points. The main aim is to focus on the requirements that are proposed in the advert. Stick to highlight those aims and make it intersting, dont babble..you dont want to bore them.....Lastly, make sure you have flow and is not rushed as though an employer can deffinately tell between a well thought letter and a rushed one. Good Luck.

make sure you triple check your spelling and grammar in the cover letter!

you wouldn't wanna f**k up there.. and i know you adelaidians aren't too good with your English.

and i'd say no more than 3/4 of a page.. anything more htan that, they'll lose interested (as the guy above said)

Nice points about checking spelling. U might want to check you own spelling before calling us stupid at the same time as well...now <edit/ go> back to your hole and use a dictionary...

**my post is intended to offend so if u dont like it -
