How to Write a Cover Letter That Sounds Like YOU (and Gets Noticed)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 май 2024
- I hate cover letters. They add so much stress to the already uncomfortable and grueling job hunt. Every time I'm writing one, I find myself wondering: Do people even read these?
Unfortunately, the answer is "yes." But, there are some ways to make the process a little less terrible. I asked Amy Gallo, Harvard Business Review editor and author of "How to Write a Cover Letter," for her advice. From doing the research, to starting off strong, to emphasizing your value - Gallo taught me exactly what I need to do to get my cover letters noticed by hiring managers. I even wrote a new cover letter that has her blessing.

6:46 The "audio jungle" took me out lmao but this video's super helpful!
Thanks so much for this!
Love and appreciate this video! With this level of commitment, it may be challenging to produce a dedicated CV for every job level. I wonder if one can make a generic template for those applications.
Thank you so much for this video.
Thank you and you rock!
Thank you!
I like you gal ❤
Honestly, it's a poor cover letter.
Too much text.
How about you making a video about it then? Would be interesting to see what your approach is about and how your own perfect letter looks like 😊
How did she get her job if she didn't know how to write a cover letter in the first place?
By applying online🤯

I still wrote my cover letter. What really led to me getting the job was the interview. I wrote a cover letter that was good enough.
We’re not writing cover letters, they can take their job and shove it 🤷♂️
