What should I include in a cover letter? I find them awkward to write because I feel like it’s basically another version of a cv. So what do you guys put in cover letters?

I try to summarise my skills and match them to the job ads, so they and give it a quick scan. If the role is a bit more creative, then I inject a bit more personality into it. I think it depends on the job, but Ive always seen it as a brief intro and a bit of a PD checklist.

Use it as an opportunity to pitch yourself a valuable hire. You want to tell them how you can benefit their team and provide an example of when that has been the case in previous roles. Good opportunity to frame your interest in staying within the organisation/your intentions (moving up or just developing skills).

Great question Kimberly.
I'm sure lots of people do it differently but for me I like to start by explaining why I'm interested in the job/company. Jumping on their website I try to find a couple of points about them and then weave that into my answer. I figure it shows I've taken an interest.
Then I take the key points from their job ad and respond to them based on my skills/experience.
Hope that helps.
