I’m currently applying for a couple of jobs abroad and wondered if anyone had any advice regarding the cover letters for overseas applications.

I am going to an expo this weekend but a couple of closing dates are this week so need a bit of quick advice.

I have my cover letter pretty much covered I think but need some help as to adding in as to why I want to move abroad. Should I include this anywhere in the letter and what sort of things should I include? I don’t want to go overboard

Any advice will be much appreciated! Cheers thumbup

I wouldn't even mention it, but be prepared to answer the question in person during an interview. The cover letter should be about your interest/ desire for the job. It shouldn't matter that it is abroad - you're applying, which means you're interested in the job, even though you have to move overseas.
