Мотивационно писмо (Cover letter)
Учим как да напишем мотивационно писмо (cover letter), което се изпраща заедно с CV при кандидатстване за работа или стаж. Писмото е официално: започва с подходящо обръщение, в първия абзац казваме за коя позиция кандидатстваме, после обясняваме защо сме подходящи, а накрая учтиво завършваме. Избягваме разговорни думи и съкращения.
