DO write a covering letter or email<\/strong> \u2013 it highlights you are serious and demonstrates your work ethic!<\/p>\n

DO use creativity<\/strong> \u2013 ensure your covering letter grabs your readers attention.<\/p>\n

DO match your skills and experience to the advert and brag<\/strong> – make it snappy though, not war and peace.<\/p>\n

DO research online job boards<\/strong> \u2013 which ones are advertising the roles that will fit you? Ensure you register your details with them, all of them \u2013 NOW.<\/p>\n
