Thought I'd stick this in here, it seems to be all about advice etc.
Anyway how do you write a decent cover letter?

Keep it brief and to the point, recruiters don't have the time to go reading through much.

Just explain why you want the job and why you think you'd be good at it.
Sell yourself.

It's probably best to browse the web for advice, rather than asking on a football forum. Hope that helps  |

I'd suggest reading things before you post them,as a bare minimum. |

Are you applying for an advertised position WR? If so, do they not provide an application form?

One thing I did with the last cover letter I wrote - was I sent it out to a few friends.
All of whom have done cover letters, some who have had to read through cover letters. Different organizations and different people offer you different advice. Get as many people as possible to proof read it.
The job I applied for didnt even require a cover letter but I still did one anyway - and it was pretty damn good if I do say so myself. Did the same with my CV.
