Tailor these to the specific job and employer. • Leave out fancy formatting that can be corrupted in e-mail transit. • Your CV shouldn’t be longer than two pages and your covering letter shouldn’t be longer than a page. • Either attach the covering letter with your CV or write it within the main e-mail message window.
