Today on my weekly Wednesday (at 2:00 PM EST) Live Jobsticker’s Jobseeker Resource Show on LinkedIn, I cover the 3 types of cover letters in a sea of options available to #jobseekers.
The 3οΈβ£ types I discuss are:
β Job Target Cover Letter –
β‘οΈ Introductory letter that sets up your resume
β‘οΈ Introduces you to the employer
β‘οΈ Tells them what you are applying for
β‘οΈ Value you offer and your USP
β‘οΈ Demonstrates an understanding of the position and why you’re are a good fit
β‘οΈ Can mention a COVID layoff
β Disruptive Cover Letter –
β‘οΈ How do you emotionally connect with their brand
β‘οΈ Tell them your first time you used their product/service
β‘οΈ Share a personal story that connects with them
β‘οΈ Help them understand what life experience has made you feel like part of their tribe
β Pain Cover Letter –
β‘οΈ Diagnose a potential employer problem and explain to them how youβre going to alleviate their pain
β‘οΈ How will you know what your hiring managerβs biggest problem is
β‘οΈ Think about what your possible future boss is up against in his or her job
β‘οΈ If the organization is growing fast, they need help keeping up
β‘οΈ If the organization is large, it may be slow to react to market changes
β‘οΈ Every organization has pain! Identify it and let the potential boss know how you will help ease the pain
βοΈ Goal? Try to draw them in and create an emotional reaction, which can convert into a connection. Now youβll get the request for an interview.

Itβs not worth the price. It took a few days and it took 10 minutes. The attitude of the customer service is still very bad. I donβt know who I asked for it. If I ask for a re-shoot, I have to receive a rejection, and I have to send out the shipping cost for the first time. I said that the shipping fee would be charged if I refused to accept it. I doubt if the product I bought is genuine or if I have entered the wrong store. I encountered such customer service for the first time buying something.
