    Some of the job vacancies I've been looking at recently have been asking for a CV, the standard application form, and also a letter of application.

    I'm completely new to this, so just wondering what exactly would I have to include in the letter? Is it basically just elaborating on what's in the application form and CV, or is there anything specific I need to include?

    Thanks in advance

    It's basically the cover letter, that's my understanding of it anyway.

    So you'd be writing dear XXXX .... I am a applying for ... I think I would be ideal for this position because... etc. etc. in each paragraph.

    Thanks dambarude. And for the standard application form in the section about the certificate in religion, what does it mean by "Modules Studied"? Is it literally every cert module I've taken since first year?
    Sorry about all the questions, I know you're only finishing up as well this month, it's times like this I wish I came from one of those "teaching families" you hear so much about. Someone might be able to tell me what I'm supposed to be doing! :p

    I know exactly what you mean about the 'teaching families'. I'd probably have 50 days subbing under my belt, and a job lined up for next month if I was in one of them :rolleyes:.

    AFAIK, yes, you fill in the Cert modules there. So 'Church and Sacrament', 'Christology' etc.

    Don't forget the CV course on in Mary I Monday week!

    Yeah I signed up for Monday just to see what it was like really. Might as well make the most of it! Don't really know why I decided to do all this stuff BEFORE the CV course. I reckon procrastinating on Psychology has an awful lot to do with it. . .
