How to write a job application

In Norway, “job application” often means the full package: CV + cover letter (and sometimes a short form). The CV shows the facts; the cover letter explains why you are applying and what you can contribute.

Open with why you are applying to this role. Then show 2–3 concrete matches between your background and the requirements. Close with motivation and a clear ask for an interview.
