A few points to consider,

- if it is reply to an advert answer all points written in the ad

- Try to set yourself apart from the rest, generally if you are applying you have the skills they are looking for, but show what you will bring with these skills.

Typical layout would be something like

Intro Para - I wish to apply for this job ________. I am ________

2nd Paragraph - discuss how you meet the key criteria that they require

3rd paragraph - Other points

Final - Thanks I'm Keen, please contact me on _____ and if you have any questions.

Regards, ____

the cover letter is the most important part of the application. It is where your potential employer uses the cover letters to distinguish between the crap and the good applicants. Your aim is to tell them why they should continue to read your resume over others. If your cover letter is a good one then you will most prolli get chosen to go ahead further. Like L3nny states above, you dont want to ramble on irrelevant points. The main aim is to focus on the requirements that are proposed in the advert. Stick to highlight those aims and make it intersting, dont babble..you dont want to bore them.....Lastly, make sure you have flow and is not rushed as though an employer can deffinately tell between a well thought letter and a rushed one. Good Luck.

make sure you triple check your spelling and grammar in the cover letter!

you wouldn't wanna f**k up there.. and i know you adelaidians aren't too good with your English.

and i'd say no more than 3/4 of a page.. anything more htan that, they'll lose interested (as the guy above said)

Nice points about checking spelling. U might want to check you own spelling before calling us stupid at the same time as well...now <edit/ go> back to your hole and use a dictionary...

**my post is intended to offend so if u dont like it -

      Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next.

      Once you learn it all, you find you do the job once. But this is the best way to learn, as you won't forget the lessons

      This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?

      Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
