📮 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 😁
