    Hello Dr Ojo. Thanks for this informative video. Please how do I go about a case whereby a cover letter is requested to accompany my statement of purpose too ?

    Hello Dr. Ojo. Thanks for your insightful videos. Pls do I need to add a title between the salutation and the 1st paragraph

      The need for a title may be country-specific. This letter did not use any title. The key is to let why you are writing be clear from the first sentence.

    How and where should I write the names and contacts of the referees in the cover letter?

    • @BestmanAcademy

      Hi. You don't need to provide this in the cover letter except otherwise stated. You can provide a list of referees as a standalone document. On rare occasions some people provide this at the end of their CV.

    Hello bro, what if there is no advert?

    • @BestmanAcademy

      Good question.
      Change paragraph 1 to reflect the situation. e.g. I am writing to inquire about the possibility of an open Postdoc position in your group. and continue to introduce yourself like we did in the video.
      In paragraph 2, tell them what particularly attracted you to their group, your specific works/achievement or skills that make you a good fit for their group, and get them excited with what you can add to the team (if any).
      We talked about this and gave a short example in this video: ua-cam.com/video/MoSba_qNczI/v-deo.htmlsi=Mb2AZjrntYxpt1Wh&t=1819
      Good luck.
