Cover letter mandatory? Anyone has a sample of it?

[NKKD Hortons]

Dear All,

I would like to know if a cover letter is mandatory. What should be included in this. Does anyone have a sample cover letter that you used with your application? Please share it with me.

Thanks.

No cover letter is requested for FSW. As Qorax says provide "Nothing more, Nothing less" than they ask for. Use the checklists for CIO and VO as the covers for documents requested. IF you have any anomalies to explain, for example, you do not have a reference letter but you are including X,Y and Z as proof of duties, then you can include a BRIEF explanation of what you have done to TRY to provide what was requested, as well as what you ARE providing to satisfy the requirements.
Think of it from the perspective of the Officer who has to go through all these pages. Will he want to read the same thing over again in a letter? Just keep it to the point, well organized and legible. All the BEST!

A well-written, employer-centric cover letter will typically consist of three main parts: the introduction, the body, and the closing (which ends with a compelling action or request).

The introduction: Whenever possible, indicate how you came to apply to the company, such as...

responding to an advertised opening
having identified the company through research (do not use this if you didn't do the research as it may be obvious to the employer)
reading about the company or its executives in a publication
receiving a referral from John Jones at XYZ company
The body: It is important to highlight your qualifications and strengths as they relate to the requirements of the position. Amplify or augment information contained in your resume (rather than merely repeating it) and include a few strengths or personal qualities.

The closing: If the position was unadvertised and the resume is unsolicited, indicate that you will follow up in a few days. If you are responding to an advertised position, indicate you are looking forward to the opportunity to discuss how you can contribute to the success of the organization.

Hope this helps you
