DH on gardening leave due to redundancy.

There is an ideal job for him to apply for but we are struggling with writing the perfect cover letter to ensure he gets an interview.

What are the do's and don'ts with cover letters? He needs to email his CV and letter to apply.

Also they ask for current salary. What does he put, what he was on plus more or a band/in the region of? He was employed but on a lower salary than this job (it is a head of dept job rather than what he was doing) and he was still self employed but didn't do any work through his own company for the last 18 months. He has glossed over the redundancy as included the year long job as part of self employment rather than PAYE. (Long story but boss has just made 10+ redundant in one go so reference will be rubbish as redundancy meetings have all been horrible for him, very negative).

Any advice would be great - cover letter ideas and salary to quote.
