A4e Gateway Course, Day 3 Cover Letters

Firstly, I know how to write letters, and always accompany my applications with a cover letter. But today I get actual teaching. The cover letter theory lesson. Half an hour is spent signing in and ordering lunch. Then finally!! As a group, we found errors in a fake cover letter. It turns out that spelling mistakes are bad. We then have to make up our own cover letter for our own made up job. Useful. Male dominated group, you can probably guess what sort of jobs were applied for.

Finally, we are instructed to write our own spec letter. We are given a sheet with some examples of opening statements. And that is my useful morning. In the afternoon we are set free on computers again to type up letters and job search. 3 wasted days so far!
