On tuesday in work based learning we looked at writing covering letters for our placements. I do have to admit to start with i did think it was a waste of time for me as without writing a good cover letter i would never have got my previous job or got to the high level i was at! Instead i turned it around when steph talked about using our 'graduate' skills to showcase what i can do or will do at some point! With putting the emphasis on these examples i now feel that when i can get back to doing a job or something more meaningful than just volunteering that i do at the moment i would have more confidence about getting all this across in covering letter.
