Dear Subscriber,

In today's competitive job market, a strong cover letter can be your golden ticket to an interview when applying for the 2,000 or so jobs on GlosJobs.co.uk. Many job seekers make common mistakes that can quickly land their application in the "no" pile.

Here are some of the most frequent cover letter mistakes:

Not matching your skills to those required in the advert: Make sure you tell the employer how well you can do the job!
The generic template letter: Sending a one-size-fits-all cover letter to every job application, shows you haven't done research into your application.
Duplicating what's on your CV: Your cover letter isn't just a narrative version of your CV. Employers read both, and they want to see how they complement each other. If you're just repeating bullet points, you're wasting valuable space.
Too much focus on what you are looking for: While your cover letter is about you, its purpose is to demonstrate what you can do for the employer. Many letters focus solely on what the applicant wants.
Typos and grammatical errors: Despite the wide array of proofreading software and online grammar checkers available today, applications frequently arrive with errors.
Lacking a clear call to action: After stating your case end your cover letter with a call to action by stating your strong interest in the position and the company and your eagerness to discuss your application further in an interview.
Overly formal or informal tone: Striking the right balance is crucial. Aim for a professional yet personable tone.

By avoiding these common pitfalls and investing a little extra time and effort into tailoring your cover letter, you'll significantly increase your chances of catching the eye of local employers and landing that interview. Good luck!
