A cover letter is almost a standard requirement when applying for international jobs. In brief, it is a letter introducing yourself as a person and explaining why you are applying for the position. Usually a cover letter should be one page in length, including the sender's and the recipient's address, which should be placed at the top of the page. Under this, write a short title in bold print to inform the reader what the letter is about. If you are sending an email, put this information in the subject box. Next, address the employer by name if you know the contact person. Otherwise it is acceptable to use "Dear Hiring Manager". In the first paragraph you should then say what position you are applying for and how you found out about it. In the next few paragraphs explain in detail why you believe yourself to be a suitable candidate for the position. The aim of the cover letter is to encourage the reader to look at your resume, so be confident but try to avoid repeating the same information that is already in your resume. It is very important to tailor your cover letter to the position you are applying for. Read through the job description carefully and explain why you meet its requirements. It is best to provide concrete examples of where you learnt the skills necessary for the job, so include some information from your work experience and studies. Don't lie. If you are invited for an interview, you will most likely be asked questions about your previous experience, so think of good examples that demonstrate your skill, such as teamwork or problem solving. This is where you can really stand out from other applicants. In the final paragraph, express your enthusiasm for the position and say that you look forward to a response.
