South African Cover Letter

 

A South African cover letter is an integral part of your job application process. 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 South African 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.

Foreigners wishing to work in South Africa need a ‘sponsor letter’ written by a South African employer offering you a job for which there is a proven demand.

The South African cover letter should be typed on one page.

Write in a few lines how your experience and expertise can contribute to the company and to South Africa.

It is customary to follow up your job letter by phone.

Do not include copies of diplomas with your job cover letter.
