Replied to Is IELTS required for every masters scholarship?Yes, it is called a Medium of Instruction letter.

Replied to A cover letter structure that works for this sectorThey can already see the gap on your CV. Naming it first means you get to frame it, and it reads as self-awareness rather than as something you hoped nobody would notice.22 days ago
