Send ½ your resume
First, find a company for whom you would like to
work. Write a compelling covering letter
describing why you are good for them, pointing the receiver to the enclosed CV
for further information. Don’t seal the
A4 envelope and don’t enclose a CV. They’ll think the CV fell out in the mail. Wait for the phone to ring, speak to the
hiring manager personally, engage them in a conversation, and sell yourself
shamelessly.

♦ use high quality stationary
♦ Make sure the letter fits very snugly in the
envelope so it doesn’t really fall out.
♦ Make sure your phone number is on the covering
letter.
