You should be a good writer to take this course but I will help you with this to take your abilities and bring them to new heights! It’s all about combining a powerful cover letter with an impactful resume to get yourself that interview for your dream job.

Description
The statistics don’t lie: 94% of hiring managers view cover letters as influential in interview decisions, and a well-crafted one can elevate a candidate’s chances by 49%.

I’ve got more stats, but this is pretty powerful and demonstrates why you need a cover letter if you are going to apply for a job.

If you decide to write one, it had better be done right because you can actually do more harm to your chances if you submit a poor letter rather than not submitting one at all.

After hiring dozens of individuals since 2001, spending 13 years as a journalist, and reading hundreds of cover letters, I understand what good writing is and what makes for a great cover letter.

In this course, I’ll walk you through the eight steps you need to follow in a cover letter to capture a recruiter’s attention. Steps such as a personalized greeting, an engaging opening, tailored content, how to showcase your value, ensure you are a cultural fit, professional formatting, and how to write a compelling closing.

I’ll also walk you through the best ways to personalize your cover letter to get interviews, explain uncomfortable career gaps so you are not punished for them, and how to showcase your authentic personality in the letter.

While your resume lists your qualifications, your cover letter brings your personality to life, making your application more memorable and helping employers see you as a well-rounded candidate.

Remember: 77% of recruiters give preference to job candidates who submit a cover letter, and including a tailored one can boost your chances of landing an interview by up to 50%.

And that’s really what any course on how to write cover letters is all about – get an interview (I’ve got a course on this!), receive an offer, and start your dream job!
