Application Part 2: Documents

So, something I didn't include in my previous blog post was the content of my CV and Cover Letter. I wanted to save them for a separate post as they can be quite lengthy and I didn't want to make my last post ridiculously long.

As part of your application you need to upload some documents. The first being a passport styled photograph of yourself which I covered last time, a scanned in photograph of your passport, previous visas if you've worked in America before and your CV and Cover Letter.

Here's my cover letter:

I tried to cover pretty much everything from work experience, to education and I must have done something right to get an interview! Remember: plagiarising systems are used so don't risk getting your application rejected by copying what I've wrote - it's simply there to give ideas of the kinds of stuff to talk about.

So, next thing is CV. Now, when I first found Yummy Jobs before they updated the website they used to have a CV template (which is what I've based mine on) however, I don't think it's on the website any longer.

Here's my cover letter and how I've laid it out based on the former YJ template:





At the bottom which I've missed out, was a references section where I've simply wrote "available upon request" - as they're not required for the first interview.

That's pretty much it for my documents! I think I've managed to lay things out pretty professionally which I think should be the number 1 focus. I hope it may help you in the future!
