Kirstin on Fullback and Friends:  Cover letters applicants may find this a difficult part of the application process, but recruiting managers love them, as it helps confirm how much research and effort you have put into personalising your application, by showing your knowlege of the company, your interest in the role, and how well you meet the job criteria.  Make sure your next cover letter goes straight to the ‘to be considered’ pile.  http://careers.theguardian.com/careers-blog/how-to-stand-out-with-your-covering-letter
