It is imperative that you don't just base this around what you want and the skills you have but also look at what the employer is looking for. Make sure everything they are asking for is included in your cover letter and C.V, do not give employers an excuse to disregard your application on the basis that you don't fit their criteria. In the same breath do not fabricate skills and experience, pull on the experience you have and taylor it to what they want. For example if you were applying for a Management IT Consultants position but have had no previous Management roles, think of times when in your past jobs you have had to manage people and products and include this in your cover letter and/or C.V.
