Anglų kalbos pamokėlė nr. 13 COVERING LETTERS

TEXT
They are desperately important. The covering letter has got to earn readership for the CV. And many employers, many consultants, many employment agents read to reject - they only read until the point they find something they can reject you for.
So, you need to keep every document saying positive things, true things that you're proud of, and your excellences, your good points must come out, not necessarily by exaggerating them, but just by mentioning them.
