A winning Cover Letter
This probably looks to you as straight forward topic to you but be sure there are people who still get the cover letter wrong at this age. Today, we will concentrate on giving you tips and components of a good cover letter. Just as a point of note, there are so many questions surrounding the sending your CV and cover letter through email. Job seekers are concerned whether to send an emails’ body as the cover letter or attach it as an attachment. Please do both for the sake of the employer because they may want to print the cover letter for records and thus in this case they will prefer an attachment and because you want to express your need in an organized manner once someone opens your email, have it also as the body of the e-mail.
There should be basic components of a cover letter which if a human resource executive looks at, he will immediately see you through it.
- It should be clear and explanatory with a lot of precision.
- The font should be the same as that on the CV. If you have two different fonts it shows a little bit of clumsiness.

The hardest question in an interview….How much.....
The hardest question in an interview….How much.....
‘What salary do you expect us to take home?’ This probably the hardest question you get in an interview and which I hope you don’t get in the vent that you have not done enough research. It is not probably asked for those joining a company at entry level because I know at this stage each company believes they offer the best. For management trainees, most employers believe they are the best paying because they try as much as possible to match their entry salary to the market or offer slightly above it. This is in line with a lot of companies’ policy of making sure that they get the crème de la crème of the graduates. This throws them into a competition which the audit firms end up winning anyway even beating competitions like, Unilever, EABL, Bamburi for engineers and other technical specialized talents.
