Lse ac uk/careers How to write cvs and cover letters

The Boston Consulting Group 

“It can be tempting to think of applications as a numbers 

game, and that the best approach is to apply to as many 

employers as possible. That can cause your cover letter to look 

very standardised and errors to creep in. Check whether the 

organisation you’re applying to has a statement of values, 

and read the role description carefully. Then use the cover 

letter to guide the employer to the sections of your CV or 

application form that show your own values are aligned.  

This will make your application appear more tailored and 

shows the employer that you would be a good fit.”
