A written statement of interest addressed to a prospective employer designed to introduce a more personal side of a candidate's skill and personality. A necessary evil, much like the resumé. 

 

How it works . . .

 

We will ask for your current resumé and the job description/posting for the position you are applying for.  Then we'll schedule a call with you to discuss specifics:  why you are applying for this particular job? Why this business/organization?  Why you think you are good fit (in your own words)? This call will last approximately 30 minutes.

 

We then send you a hand-crafted cover letter that you can apply to this particular job, and with a little tweaking, other similar jobs in the future. It may be tempting to request a general cover letter to use for multiple jobs/points of entry/industries over time.  While we are happy to write one, we caution against this approach. Most recruiters tend to file form cover letters without ever reading them. In the trashcan. A potential employer wants to know why they should invest in you, specifically, for this position.  A good cover letter partnered with a good resumé should answer that question in no uncertain terms.

 

How refreshing!

 

Already have a solid cover letter and just want a quick review? We get that sometime a little tweaking is all it takes.  That's why we don't have minimums when it comes to project size.  Estimates are always free. Get started here.
