[QUOTE="Lily721, post: 74645, member: 8053"] Hi Jess! I hope you had a nice Easter! I wanted to ask your opinion on something. I am applying for this paralegal position and the application is very straightforward - CV, education and work experience. At the end of the form there is a section to add a "Cover Letter / Other Notes". However, it is clearly stated there is no need to write a cover letter as my other information "speaks for itself". Do you think I should still a write a cover letter? I am thinking that if I do, this can be seen as me putting more effort into the application, but then I worry that any cover letter I write might not be that good and this can negatively impact my application. Also, if I do write a cover letter, this would basically be a short reiteration of most of the information already on the application form. And finally in relation to this - would you advice on changing my CV in a way to make it more tailored to the position? And if so, any tips on how to make that happen? [/QUOTE]
