Other questions

Is the cover letter written for me?

No. You fill in your own details. It is not a finished letter about you. The first paragraph is an example. Write about your own work over it. Words in [square brackets] mark example words. Type your own words over them before you send. Paragraph 2 has 3 short guides: work experience, just finished studying, or a new kind of work. Choose one, then write it yourself.

Which design should I choose?

Clean Minimal suits admin, government, finance, banking, customer service, retail (shops), logistics (transport and storing goods) and first jobs. Modern Professional suits marketing, sales, business development (finding new customers), IT support and hospitality (hotels and restaurants).

I have never had a job. Can I use it?

Yes. The letter has a guide for a recent graduate. Use a project from your studies, an internship or a skill that fits the job. Only finished matric? Use a school project. The CV example shows where your matric goes.

What do I send to the employer?

Send what the advert asks for. If it does not say, send the Word file. Does it ask for a PDF (a document you read or print; it opens on most phones)? Google Docs and Word can save your file as a PDF. Never send a photo of a printed page.

I already bought the CV on its own. Do I need this?

Only if the advert also asks for a cover letter. This set has the same CV, plus the matching cover letter and references page. Each option is a separate purchase.

The letter talks about an Achievement Bullet Guide. Do I get it?

No. You can write the letter without it. The guide is in the option called Better words for your CV, and in the complete system.
