#20 (Do I Need a Coverletter? Hell Yeah, You Do!)

𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗧𝗜𝗞 𝗧𝗢𝗞: 𝗗𝗼 𝗜 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿? 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗵, 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗗𝗼!

Some higher managers expect them others to care less and not even open them. For you, play the F’n game and use it. your competition is.

Quick note: YES, you need one. It’s a part of playing the job-hunting game.

Build a cover letter that stands out. While only half the recruiters/hiring managers will read them, it’s important to have it. Trying to resonate with the hiring manager shouldn’t be scary.

Your goal is to show your brand advocacy. Quickly demonstrate the “why” you’re a good fit for their organization by personally customizing the cover letter so your story builds an emotional connection with the reader.

Show them your connection with their brand and why you love it. How have you personally experienced their brand and what was the effect?

Get the reader to stop skimming over details, as they may do due to time constraints, and to actually focus and read your resume beyond the 6 seconds.

Finally, do not make it longer than half a page, it’s not meant to be a novel.

Also, I have a resource here for any job seeker wanting to learn about the various types of cover letters:
