I’m using this job ad as an example. I’ve yet to apply as this just popped up and I’ve considered similar positions, though I’ll try to apply as a Research Analyst.
My question is should I expound on things in the cover letter that relate to the job at hand from my resume? In this case, it’s doing research on maritime security issues. (eg should I just say in the CL that I worked on a job that talked about maritime security and explain further even though it’s explained in the resume briefly).
I applied as an Associate Research Fellow in another job ad, but I was warned that I REALLY need to show proof that I strongly did a lot of work/research in said subject matter for this think tanks/school.
Trying to figure out to make sure the local HR doesn’t push it to the reject pile.
