      Yes, makes it easier for the recruiter. that’s how it’s taught at school, too. At least was, haven’t been in school for a while but have applied for jobs using this format.

      Sometimes they ask to write a small letter about how you think you are right for this job. I thought that was the cover letter. It’s not supposed to be very long.

      Yep pretty much, we have a EU format for CVs and maybe add a little letter of why you think you are the right person for the job and that’s it, something short

      Some examples:

        You’ve succinctly described a cover letter :)

          Yeah but you don’t have to send one, just if you wanna be fancy and no one makes long ass letters like in the USA, that was the point of the comment
