📮 A good cover letter complements your resume by telling a story about why you deserve that first round interview. In this video, I share 3 Practical Tips on how to Write an Amazing Cover Letter, and even include a free sample template for you to download.
For those of you who have never written a cover letter, or perhaps it’s been a while since you wrote one, it could be difficult to start, since there are really no standardized template. A cover letter for an internship would be different than that for a full time job. And sometimes, the job application says submitting a cover letter is “optional” so should you even bother? 🤔
I walk you through step-by-step on how to write an amazing cover letter and even provide an example cover letter for you to reference:
1️⃣ Hook the reader in by mentioning a connection with the company
2️⃣ Be purposeful about the information you include in your cover letter body paragraphs
3️⃣ Use a simple cover letter template
Now that you have an amazing cover letter, check out my video on how to write an incredible resume and best of luck in your job search 😁

Hello there Jeff!
I am currently writing a resume for a housekeeping/janitorial position at an arena which puts on concerts, sports, job fairs, business conferences and more.

Hi wanted some tips for an entry-level or junior business analyst position. This will be my first job in the corporate world needs to shine out in front of the recruiter so that they like what I have mentioned.
great video, 5:50 into the video, the suggestion of which cover letter someone would find most appealing is also one I would agree with; though I am curious if aside from emailing that cover letter if I decided to upload it as part of my online application if it breaks any ATS rule in place that might invalidate my application as a whole? Thank you
