Hi, I assume you are applying for a new position which involves OH&S as the primary area of responsibility? If that's the case, the cover letter is your opportunity to market your knowledge, skills and abilities (KSA's) such that they will want to interview you. Connect what you have done with what they want-but don't be dishonest in your claims. Few prospective candidates have everything an employer is looking for. Pull out the key elements of your KSA's and present them in a way that tells the reader that you are someone they want to talk to. It isn't difficult to write a successful cover letter. It isn't your life story, and it isn't a distillation of your C.V. either. Two paragraphs maximum. You want it read, then put in the pile that gets the phone calls-not the other pile....

Thank you, this will has given me some inspiration, Off now to give it a go !!!

You could also try that well known job site on the internet the one with a 'scary' name.

Good luck - hope things work out for you and glad to be of some small assistance.
