Good preparation will double your chances:

•  Do research on the company and its jobs (including on the internet).
  
  
• Read through the job offer/information about the job in detail: what exactly does the employer expect? What does the position entail? What makes you an ideal candidate for this job?
  
  
• Create a CV.

Then begin to write your covering letter. The information on the following pages can help you with this:
