Recruitment FAQ's
Should I upload a cover letter with my application?
It is important to include a cover letter in your application as it is more personable than your resume and can reveal additional personal attributes. A cover letter highlights how your motivation, qualifications and key skills complement the role you are applying for. It also provides a brief glimpse of the information you provide on your resume, encouraging the hiring manager to read further.
