Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and i can imagine that newbies like me have asked for the same thing. I'm struggling to start writing a cover letter for a PhD project I'm applying for. Is there anyone who's willing to send me a copy of their cover letter, if that's not too much to ask. I won't copy or paste it, i just want to have some kind of idea of what to write and how to write it.

Cheers,

Shikamaru

How much are you offering?;-)

An hug and my gratitude forever, is that enough? :p

Alas, if only it was...

Just been to the supermarket, it's expensive, and unfortunately they don't accept hugs for payment. Truth be told I didn't think they would accept my card...

In a nutshell...
cover letter
find 3 or 4 relevant skills, experiences or accomplishments that demonstrate your suitability as an independent researcher that is able to think for themselves - write about them. Don't suck up to the sup. Trend the fine line between arrogance and confidence.

I've said too much already... I have a couple of awesome coverletters that never fail to get me a job interview. Unfortunately, I do actually charge.

Good luck with the letter.

But i can't afford to pay. Thanks for your advice anyway.
