Career Snapshot - Cover Letters

Your cover letter works with your CV to help an employer understand your skills, why you want the job, and why you are interested in working for them.  It takes time and research to create a high quality cover letter, but once you know how to write a great one, you can market yourself effectively for any job.

Start with the video here - Career Snapshot - Cover Letters  to get an overview of how cover letters are structured then use the sections below and downloadable resources for further support.  See our Guide to  CVs, Cover Letters, and Personal Statements , and there are downloadable resources, including the Panopto recording of Welcome to Writing a Cover Letter .

Cover Letter Tabs

Two students on campus.

Your covering letter should:

  • Fit easily onto one page of A4
  • Focus on the criteria from the opportunity advert or description
  • Be written clearly and succinctly to highlight the most relevant skills
  • Use space well and avoid very long paragraphs
  • Convey your enthusiasm for the job and organisation
  • Be addressed to a particular person where possible i.e. ‘Miss Brown’ instead of ‘Dear Madam’
  • End with either ‘Yours faithfully’ (if addressed to Sir or Madam) or ‘Yours sincerely’ (if addressed to a named person)
  • Be written in business language rather than overly-academic language, use our list of action verbs to help, in our publication,  CVs and Cover Letters, and Personal Statements

1. The introduction

Explain who you are and why you are writing. This will include some or all of the following:

  • Where you are studying and the course which you are taking
  • Your expected grade (at least if it is a good one!)
  • The job/position that you are applying for, and where you saw the advertisement (website, newspaper etc.). If you are making a speculative application then state what you are looking for (e.g. vacation work) and, if appropriate, for how long you would be available
  • If you have had contact with the company before (perhaps through meeting their representatives at a careers fair) then mention this in the introductory part of your letter

2.  Why you want to work for them

Give the employer at least two to three specific reasons why you want to work for them:

  • Tell them why you are interested in this career area and why their organisation
  • Perhaps your interest developed through work experience, attending a company presentation
  • Do some research to help you think about why this company appeals to you and go beyond the obvious – nearly all large employers off ‘challenging opportunities’, ‘team-based environment’, or ‘international opportunities’.
  • What are the unique features that draw you to them?

3.  The ‘selling’ section

"Review this section carefully for every single application you make as the requirements will differ from employer to employer. Relevance is key to success."

This is a very important section . Think about what to highlight and make it clear to the reader why you are a strong candidate for the job. Be selective with your examples and don’t try to cram all of your experiences in:

  • Summarise each piece of evidence briefly, in two or three sentences, backing up your claim of that skill, e.g. ‘I have strong communication skills, developed liaising between academics and student peers to highlight and resolve issues in my role as Year Group Representative’
  • Draw on examples, where possible, from different parts of your background, for example, academic, work experience and other activities
  • Review this section carefully for every single application you make as the requirements will differ from employer to employer. Relevance is key to success

4. The ending

  • State that you enclose or attach your CV or application form as requested
  • Mention that you are looking forward to meeting them in an interview, or a similar positive statement
  • If there are certain periods when you are unavailable for an interview, let them know

Sometimes you may wish to explain special circumstances which might be important in your application, for example, grades not being as good as required, or you may wish to ask for reasonable adjustments in an interview if you have a disability.

See our  Equality, diversity and inclusion page  for more guidance on job applications and disclosing a disability.

For research students

As a research student or postdoc writing a covering letter, what you choose to highlight will depend on whether you're applying for a role within or outside of academia.

What to emphasise when applying for different kinds of work

Academic work.

When applying for a postdoctoral or lectureship position, you may want to emphasise the following:

  • Research interests and experience
  • Research techniques you are familiar with e.g. subject specific lab-based, software, modelling, simulations, GIS, risk assessment, and any other analytical problem-solving techniques
  • Teaching, demonstrating, tutoring or supervising experience
  • Publications – papers, book chapters, peer/journal club reviewing
  • Conferences – presentations, including poster presentations
  • Administrative experience e.g. helping with College/Department Open Days, welcoming new students, managing Health and Safety in your lab
  • Financial/commercial awareness e.g. writing grant applications/proposals, buying supplies/equipment for the lab, managing lab or other budgets

When applying for an industry based position in research, you may want to emphasise the following:

  • Administrative experience
  • Research techniques relevant to the post
  • Key skills e.g. project management, creative problem-solving, negotiating and persuading, achieving results
  • Commercial awareness e.g. from work experience, research collaborations with industry or courses run through the Staff Development Unit for Postdocs

Special circumstances

Sometimes, you might need to explain certain areas of your CV more fully to an employer.  The most common examples are gaps in your CV and grades not being as good as required/expected:

  • Explain gaps, beyond a couple of months, in your CV, otherwise employers are most likely to jump to negative conclusions
  • If the gap was caused by an accident or an illness, it is useful to explain this.
  • Cite, if possible, any problems, as an example of your resilience or your ability to overcome adverse circumstances
  • Explain any justification for disappointing A-level grades, otherwise your application may be rejected.  For example, illness or accidents or family problems or even a good teacher leaving can all have an impact on results which employers can appreciate
  • Highlight academic achievements from your current course, where appropriate, if A-level grades are a weaker area on your CV
  • Don't focus heavily on negatives, but don't give a weak excuse and don't lie! Show how you have turned a potentially negative situation into a positive one
  • If the situation is personal or complicated, you could touch on it but state that  you are happy to discuss it at interview

Cover letters and disability

Some students choose to discuss their disability, neurodivergent condition or other health condition in the cover letter. The main reason for this is to ask for adjustments during the recruitment process. For further information and guidance on doing this, see our page on careers and disability .

The Civil Service recruitment process, explained: part 1

civil service cover letter uk

The Civil Service recruits using a system called Success Profiles . This means for each role we advertise, we consider what you will need to demonstrate in your application and interview for us to assess whether you will be successful in the job. This makes the interview process fair and straightforward to prepare for, and gives us the best possible chance of finding the right person for the job, whilst improving diversity and inclusivity.

Success Profiles is a ‘competency-based’ assessment framework. It assesses candidates against a combination of 5 elements – behaviours, experience, ability, technical skills and strengths. In the Digital, Data and Technology (DDaT) directorate, we have a specific DDaT Profession Capability Framework which lists the technical skills needed for each job. In this mini blog series our DDaT recruitment team, recent hiring managers and joiners will explain the DDaT recruitment process and share tips for success at each stage. This blog focuses on the statement of suitability and the Civil Service behaviours, with the second blog in the series focusing on technical assessments and overall success.

Statement of suitability

Helen redmond, ddat resourcing manager.

A CV and statement of suitability is the first part of our DDaT recruitment process via Jobvite . Statements of suitability (also known as a cover letter) are a really important part of your application. If you do not provide us with a statement of suitability, it is likely your application will not be considered.

A statement of suitability is the place for you to tailor your application. It is where you tell us why you are interested in the role and provide further evidence of how you meet each of the ‘Essential Skills and Experience’ listed in the job advert.  It is your chance to set out your passion for the role and show us the skills and experience you can bring. We do not always specify a word count, but around 300 words is recommended.

A hiring manager’s perspective: Sophie Keren, User Research Profession Lead

As a hiring manager, the statement of suitability is where I hope to see applications come to life. It provides detail and narrative that expands on your CV and sets out how your experiences have prepared you for the role. It is also an opportunity to explain why you want the role and to highlight anything that makes you stand out as a candidate.

Depending on how specific the job description is, it can sometimes be helpful to group your statement thematically or in a way that corresponds to the job advertisement. For example, you might want to use bullet points to respond to a list of essential or desirable criteria. This kind of format means we can directly compare your statement to our expectations for the role.

My one piece of critical advice would be to stick to the word count if there is one! We must treat every application fairly and stop reading after the word limit, so think carefully about what information you want to prioritise.

Climbing the career ladder

Civil Service Behaviours

The Civil Service has a defined set of behaviours , specific to a job’s grade and duties. The behaviours being assessed for the role you are applying for will be outlined in the job advert – you will not need to demonstrate all the behaviours for one role. Your behaviours will be marked out of 7 at interview, with 7 being the highest mark. A good way to answer a behaviour-based question is to use an example of a time you have shown the behaviour in a professional situation in your current or previous role and structure your answer using the STAR (situation, task, action, result) method . You can read more about the Civil Service behaviours on GOV.UK.

A good behaviour answer tells me that:

  • you understand what the behaviour is
  • you know why it matters in this role
  • you can perform the behaviour to the appropriate level

We typically recommend using the STAR format described above to demonstrate your behaviour competency. This can feel formulaic but it means we understand exactly what you did and can easily relate your answer to the job we are sifting for. When we are interviewing a lot of candidates, the clear and concise answers really stand out!

It's important to know that we can only score you on evidence you provide. Using “I” statements and demonstrating ownership of your work is important in a good behaviour answer, especially if you’re describing a team effort. Specific details are also very helpful when explaining the results of your actions, as they give us a fuller sense of the scenario you’re describing.

A word of caution – do not be tempted to embellish the truth! We are not looking for perfection or world-class behaviours in every answer. We want to know how you fit the role as an individual and what behaviours and experiences you bring to the table specifically.

Sample cover letter

Cover letters add context to your CV and when used correctly are a great way to convince employers that you're right for the job. This sample cover letter should help you get started

A cover letter demonstrates to recruiters how well you express yourself, so you need to make sure that you don't just repeat your CV or give rambling explanations. Instead, use this opportunity to focus on your skills and experience, saving your qualifications for your CV.

The basic cover letter structure covers:

  • why you're writing the letter
  • why you think you're suitable for the job (with examples)
  • relevant skills and experience
  • summary of your interest in the role.

Double check what you've written as spelling mistakes or lack of attention to detail will put your cover letter straight on the no pile.

Please be aware that this is an example. Use this cover letter template to help generate ideas and structure your own document but avoid copying and pasting. Your cover letter needs to be original and tailored to the job you're applying for.

Harry Smith Graduate HR director Big Company Ltd Woodcotes Business Park The Midlands MX9 6PQ

5th May 2023

Dear Mr Smith

Re: Logistics graduate scheme

I would like to apply for the logistics track of your graduate training scheme, advertised on the Prospects.ac.uk website. As requested, I am enclosing my CV.

I am in the final year of my geography degree, expecting a 2:1. Always intending to have a career in business, I have taken modules on the geography of business and GIS modelling. My final-year dissertation is on changing patterns in retail. During my degree, I have developed my analytical skills and ability to read, manage and present data. I have also become familiar with a range of business intelligence sources.

As you can see from my CV I have experience in:

  • Retail - moving from shelf stacker to checkout operator to team leader in my two years with Fresh Foods. I contributed to the store consistently being in the top five for the region by providing excellent customer service.
  • Warehouse operations - picking and packing to meet targets over the busy Christmas period.

I have also:

  • Worked in and led teams at Fresh Foods, on course projects and in sports.
  • Communicated with colleagues at all levels in retail and warehousing.
  • Solved problems as a team leader, ensuring staff cover and dealing with customer complaints.
  • Worked flexibly doing both early and late shifts and covering for absence, sometimes at short notice.
  • Managed my time when combining study with work and sport.

My semester in Germany exposed me to a different culture and improved my language skills. In addition, my voluntary work with young people has increased my resilience and ability to mix with people from all walks of life.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely

The STAR method

There is a problem.

Use the STAR method to plan your answers to interview questions and to show your skills and experience on a CV or application form.

What STAR stands for

  • situation - the situation you had to deal with
  • task - the task you were given to do
  • action - the action you took
  • result - what happened as a result of your action and what you learned from the experience

When to use STAR

You can use the STAR method in your:

  • cover letter
  • application form - usually in a further information section

How to use STAR

You can use the STAR method to structure the examples you give to questions, especially in interviews. You can use it to highlight particular skills and qualities you have that the employer is looking for.

When using STAR, remember:

  • you can use examples from work, home or volunteering
  • keep examples short and to the point
  • try to get your points across in a conversational way so as not to appear too rehearsed
  • be prepared to answer follow-up questions about the examples you give

Tell me about a time when you have shown leadership skills.

Situation - in my previous digital marketing job, the company wanted to get more people to sign up to a newsletter which was not receiving a lot of attention.

Task - my job was to find a way of getting more people to sign up.

Action - I organised a meeting with other important members of the marketing team to come up with creative ideas, and I led the social media campaign to generate interest in the revamped newsletter.

Result - over a period of 3 months, there was an 25% increase in sign-ups to the newsletter and the approach I took was used by the management team in other departments.

Give me an example of when you faced a problem at work. How did you handle it?

Situation - I was working in a florist shop with the manager and we were arranging an order of flowers for 2 weddings. The manager, who had taken the order, had mixed up the customers’ addresses and the flowers were delivered to the wrong venues.

Task - I had to get the flowers to the right place and apologise to the customers.

Action - I told my boss that I would deal with the mistake, leaving her to take care of the shop. I spoke to both customers on the telephone to explain, and reassured them that we would put things right straight away. I drove to both venues, swapped the flowers in time and apologised in person. I gave both customers a voucher for a bouquet as compensation.

Result - the customers were grateful that we had acted quickly. Later on, they both came back to the shop to spend their vouchers and have since recommended us to their friends.

Speak to an adviser

You can call 0800 100 900 or use webchat to speak to an adviser.

We're open:

  • 8am to 8pm Monday to Friday
  • 10am to 5pm Saturdays and bank holidays

Politics latest: Why Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle appears safe for now - as minister criticises 'real culprit' for Commons chaos

The safety of MPs remains in the spotlight as the Speaker defends his actions in the Commons. Listen to a teaser episode of Electoral Dysfunction, the new podcast from Sky News as you scroll.

Friday 23 February 2024 17:19, UK

  • Starmer the 'real culprit' for Commons chaos, minister claims
  • Rob Powell:  Speaker's position seems more secure now
  • Gaza vote controversy explained - and why Speaker is facing anger from MPs
  • 71 MPs have signed no-confidence motion  |  How Speaker can be ejected
  • From bodyguards to death threats - the real impact of this week's events
  • Electoral Dysfunction podcast teaser: Could next Tory leader actually be really obvious?
  • Live reporting by  Charlotte Chelsom-Pill

One year ago, Rishi Sunak made five pledges for voters to judge him on.

The prime minister met his pledge to halve inflation by the end of 2023, leaving four pledges outstanding.

However, he is faring less well with his other pledges.

It has been confirmed the UK is now in recession, which means the PM's pledge to grow the economy is not being met.

With the general election approaching, how is Mr Sunak doing on delivering his other promises?

You can see the progress for yourself below.

The Speaker has been facing pressure this week after Wednesday's chaos in the Commons over the Gaza ceasefire votes.

A total of 71 MPs have now signed a motion of no-confidence in Sir Lindsay Hoyle.

However, it should be noted that the motion has been losing momentum since yesterday afternoon and the initial danger to the Speaker's position appears to have subsided.

It's also important to note this early day motion won't necessarily force Sir Lindsay out.

He is not bound to resign if a certain number of MPs back it - and there is unlikely to be a debate on it.

Rather, the EDM is being used as a mechanism by his critics to show the strength of feeling in parliament after what happened with the Gaza ceasefire votes.

Sir Lindsay sparked outrage among SNP and Tory MPs when he selected a Labour amendment to the SNP's motion.

Convention dictates that only the government can amend an opposition motion, but Sir Lindsay opted to choose Labour's amendment as well as the government's.

The Sky News live poll tracker - collated and updated by our Data and Forensics team - aggregates various surveys to indicate how voters feel about different political parties.

Labour is still sitting comfortably on a roughly 19-point lead, averaging at 44% in the polls, and the Tories on 25.2%.

In third are the Lib Dems on 9.7%, followed by Reform on 9.2%.

The Green Party stands at 6.3%, and the SNP on 3.2%.

See the latest update below - and you can read more about the methodology behind the tracker  here .

By Jennifer Scott , political reporter

Downing Street has condemned protesters for projecting "from the river to the sea" onto Big Ben during a pro-Palestinian rally on Wednesday night.

The demonstration took place in Parliament Square as MPs debated calls for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, which led to chaotic scenes in the Commons.

The prime minister's official spokesperson said it was "wrong" for the controversial phrase to be used, though stopped short of saying police should have acted over it, adding: "It is rightly a decision for the independent police to make operational decisions on the ground."

Other words were also projected onto the Elizabeth Tower, including "stop bombing Gaza," "ceasefire now", and "stop war now".

But the use of "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" has drawn anger from some pro-Israel supporters, who argue the phrase calls for the eradication of the Israeli state.

Some pro-Palestinian supporters reject this, saying it is simply expressing the need for equality for all inhabitants of historic Palestine.

Conservative MP David Davis has accused the government of continuing to "shirk its obligations" after Shamima Begum lost an appeal today against the removal of her British citizenship. 

"Shamima Begum is British, and should be repatriated along with all our other nationals detained without charge or trial in North East Syria, to face British justice, where appropriate," Mr Davis said.

"Our international allies recognised this as the only sensible solution long ago - the government must finally take responsibility and abandon its failed policy."

The east London schoolgirl travelled to Syria in 2015 at the age of 15.

Her citizenship was revoked on national security grounds shortly after she was found in a refugee camp in 2019.

She has now lost an appeal against that decision (see post at 11.17am).

The ruling has been welcomed by both Downing Street and the Home Office.

While declining to comment on the details of individual cases, a No 10 spokeswoman said: "We're pleased the court has found in favour of the government.

"Beyond that, I would just say that our priority remains on maintaining the safety and security of the UK.

"We'll always take the strongest possible action to protect our national security and we never take decisions around deprivation (of citizenship) lightly."

The comments were echoed by a Home Office spokesperson, who said: "Our priority remains maintaining the safety and security of the UK, and we will robustly defend any decision made in doing so" (see post at 11.30am).

However, Mr Davis warned: "Despite today’s judgement, the government cannot continue to shirk its obligations on this issue".

Ms Begum's lawyers have vowed to "keep fighting", although the specifics of what comes next are not clear (see post at 14.35).

The King has formally stripped Paula Vennells, the former chief executive of the Post Office, of her CBE.

Ms Vennells received the honour in 2019 but was widely criticised amid the fallout from the Post Office scandal.

She had previously said she would give up the honour.

Ms Vennells was portrayed by an actor in the ITV drama, Mr Bates Vs The Post Office, which brought the scandal to the wider attention of the public earlier this year.

More than 700 sub-postmasters and mistresses had their reputations ruined by allegations of theft and false accounting, with many left bankrupt or in prison, as a result of a computer system called Horizon.

The scandal is considered the widest miscarriage of justice in British history.

Shamima Begum's lawyer Daniel Furner has vowed to "keep fighting" after the 24-year-old lost the latest round of her five-year legal battle following the removal of her British citizenship in 2019. But the specifics are less clear. 

In the unanimous decision to dismiss her attempt to overturn the decision of the lower court - the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (SIAC) - three Court of Appeal judges rejected all of her five arguments.

Her lawyers are considering the full 42-page judgment, which they saw for the first time on Friday, and any arguments over its consequences - which could include a bid to appeal against the decision at the Supreme Court - have been adjourned for seven days.

Speaking after the ruling, one of Ms Begum's lawyers said it was too soon to say whether they would lodge an appeal at the UK's highest court but appealed directly to the government to follow in the footsteps of other countries which have repatriated their citizens.

"Every other country has taken their nationals back - France, Germany, Belgium, America, Canada, Australia," said Gareth Peirce.

"Every country in a comparable position has seen that there is no alternative but to take their nationals back. The UK stands now virtually alone."

But Downing Street welcomed the Court of Appeal's decision and it is impossible to see the government allowing Ms Begum - who remains in a refugee camp in northern Syria following her travel to the country aged 15 - to return to the UK without being forced by the courts.

Labour MP Jess Phillips has revealed former home secretary Dame Priti Patel checked in on her every week after the murder of Conservative MP Sir David Amess.

Ms Phillips talks about the aftermath of Sir David's murder in a teaser episode of the new Sky News podcast Electoral Dysfunction . 

Starting next week, it will bring together Jess, Conservative peer Ruth Davidson and Sky's political editor Beth Rigby  every Friday for a new episode.

Jess said: "Those of us who are the highest security risk, of which I am one of 10, they really ramped up our security on these occasions, as they always do in these moments.

"And Priti Patel [who at the time was home secretary] was really good friends with David Amess.

"I mean she was his [constituency] neighbour. And every Sunday night for four weeks, at about 9pm at night, she would ring me and ask if I was all right. 

"You don't forget that sort of thing."

Sir David was killed during a constituency surgery in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex in 2021.

The issue of MPs' safety sits firmly in the spotlight after pro-Palestinian protesters held a demonstration outside the home of Bournemouth East MP Tobias Ellwood last week.

It has also been central to the fallout over chaos in the Commons on Wednesday, which resulted in dozens of MPs signing a motion of no confidence in the Speaker (see post at 13.49).

You can listen to more from Jess, Ruth and Beth in the special teaser episode of  Electoral Dysfunction here :

They explain what the title is all about and what they'll be trying to do on every episode.

And, they get down to the nitty-gritty of examining leaders and their policies - digging deep into what Conservatives might think of their future.
