3.1. CREATE YOUR EUROPASS COVER LETTER

The Europass Cover Letter editor enables individuals to create professional cover letters that align visually with Europass CVs. Both registered users and guests can access this feature, with registered users benefiting from additional functionality such as saving drafts in their Europass Library.

Start from the Europass Home Screen and click Create a cover letter. In the following step you will be offered two options. By choosing the option Start from Europass CL you will be offered to edit a cover letter already stored in the Europass Library (for registered users) or upload an existing Europass cover letter in PDF format stored on your device. By choosing the option Create new cover letter, you will start making the cover letter from scratch.
