How To Write A Good Cover Letter

In this lecture, we start to get more specific about what a cover letter, its purpose and its elements. We explore the characteristics of a good cover letter and a bad cover letter in more detail. In particular, students are given sample cover letters and are asked to study them in groups. Then, the students describe each of the cover letters and categorize their characteristics into things that should be included in a cover letter and things that one should not include. The purpose is to give the students tools to be able to constructively criticize their own cover letters and improve them.

Evaluating Your Cv

In this lecture, students are given the tools to evaluate their own CVs. The content aspect is discussed briefly in this lecture, while much attention is paid to the appropriate format of a CV. A CV format is evaluated by ensuring that it is free of any spelling or grammatical mistakes, the same font is used throughout the whole CV, and that chronological order is followed especially under the categories of education and the previous work experience. Students are given the opportunity to collectively evaluate completed CVs in terms of format and consistency.
