Preguntas frecuentes
¿Cover letter y carta de presentación son lo mismo?
Sí: cover letter es el nombre en inglés de la carta que acompaña al currículum. No hay que confundirla con la letter of recommendation, que escribe otra persona sobre ti.
¿Tengo que enviarla aunque no la pidan?
En Estados Unidos y Canadá es muy habitual y se valora. Si la vacante dice «optional», envíala: te diferencia de quienes no lo hacen.
¿Puedo traducir mi carta en español?
Mejor reescríbela con la estructura y el estilo de una cover letter: más directa, con verbos de acción y cifras. Pide a alguien con buen inglés que la revise.
¿Sirve para Portugal o Brasil?
Si la vacante es en inglés, sí. Si es en portugués, la estructura es parecida a la española, pero conviene escribirla en portugués.
