2.3. Europass Cover Letter

Create a Europass Cover Letter as a registered user

The Europass Cover Letter editor provides users with the option of four different cover letter templates. The templates are designed to match the graphics of the Europass CVs. Users can prepare their Europass Cover Letters through guest access or as registered users. There are several pathways to prepare the Europass Cover Letter in the editor. The editor itself consists of several parts that together form the structure of the Cover Letter. These parts are:

    • Contact details of the person preparing the cover letter
    • Information about the person/organization to whom the document is addressed
    • City, date and subject
    • Content
    • Closure

On the Europass portal users can edit the Europass Cover Letter in multiple ways:

    • via "Me": select "My Europass" from the drop-down menu, then look for the "Create Cover Letter" button under personal data

    • via "My Library": several categories of documents are stored in this section; the second sub-category, "Cover Letters", allows you to prepare your cover letter by selecting the "Create a Cover Letter" icon.

In both cases, users you have several options as their next step:

    • Import a ready-made Europass Cover Letter that can be further updated. The cover letter can be imported from your device (computer, memory stick, etc.) by clicking on "Import Cover Letter", or it can be uploaded from the Europass Library by clicking on "Choose from Library";
    • Prepare a completely new Europass Cover Letter from scratch ("Create a new cover letter"). If the system proposes an option to continue the cover letter draft, it means that the user has not finished editing a cover letter that was already started within the last 48 hours.

In reality, this does not pose any problem: you can resume with the editing of the cover letter, and when you want to finish it, click the "Finish" icon after transferring it to PDF/saving it.
