What's a speculative letter?
A speculative letter:
- introduces you to an employer
- sets out the reasons why you think you would be a valuable asset to their company
- shows what you have to offer
- can be sent to an employer with your CV.
CVs
A good CV can help you get the job you're after.
Use our CV Builder to get you started. CV Builder helps you create your own CV by offering advice and examples at each stage. Your CV will be stored online so you can access it anytime and from anywhere. We won't have access to your CV, so will not send your information to anyone.
If you'd like some advice before you get started, please get in contact with your Connexions personal adviser or your local Connexions centre. You can also have a look at our How to write a CV leaflet.
You've got an interview!
An interview can be for a job, course, or training, and can be a nerve-wracking experience. It could be 30 minutes that changes your life.
