1. An introduction in 3 or 4 sentences mentioning the position you are targeting and your education level.

2. Describe your motivation for the job in 4 to 6 sentences, insisting on your experience and your most valuable achievements.

3. A conclusion on 2 or 3 sentences advertising your C.V. and thanking the recruiter for considering your candidacy.
