#7 Cover Letters

The Career Insights Podcast

17-03-2022 • 30 mins

Are cover letters a thing of the past? It is estimated that 90% of employers view cover letters as a valuable way to assess candidates, 77% of employers give preference to a candidate who sent a cover letter, and 72% of employers will expect to receive a cover letter even if it's not mandatory. However, only 38% of candidates send a cover letter when it is required.

In today's episode we are joined by our host Sarah Burgess, and coaches Gill Amos and Jo Green. They will look at the relevancy and importance of cover letters, how to structure yours, how you can tailor it to the organisation, and how you can create the best possible cover letter.
