Belgian Cover Letter

 

A Belgian cover letter is an integral part of your job applications. It should refer to your present and future plans, showing your prospective employers what you want to do now and what you will do for them in the future.

Often the Belgian cover letter is more important or convincing to employers then the accompanying CV / resume because they refer mainly to the past time with exception of your present job.

Recruiters and employers are interested mostly in the future of companies and organizations they represent.

In this country, language is very important. Do some research, because your cover letter and CV in French will not be appreciated by a Flemish company. Your CV must be in one of several languages: Dutch (Flemish), French, German or English, depending on the company and its location.

A Belgian cover letter, tailored to the specific position, can be typewritten, but especially in the French speaking area and in the traditional professions; a handwritten letter is more common.

Belgian employers prefer a single page letter addressed to an individual. Take the time to research each employer's organization and personalize each letter with a real person’s name. The letter should be in formal style clearly emphasizing your motivation; why you consider yourself the perfect candidate, what contributions you can make to the company and a possible starting date.

Application forms are widely used among large enterprises. It is not uncommon to see on these forms questions about the profession and employers of your parents or partner. Never leave any blank spaces.
