📮 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 😁

Well amazing viewers like yourself are the reason I can still make videos so I'm more than happy to answer your questions haha. While I'm not familiar with the role you're applying for it seems like you're doing all the right things (networking etc.). Have they told you there are openings? And have you asked them if it were up to them, why they would be hesitant in hiring you? I would also address their concerns with transferable skills you've had before AND skills you got while taking care of the baby (people forget that's the toughest job of all!)

How did you go with this? I would say keep an eye on positions opnening, and apply. even send expressions of interest in the job you want. do this every 3 months. Let them know you won't go away. Eventually something opens up and all the connections and attempts will work in your favour.

@JoseRap 6 месяцев назад

Tip: Just start. Start with the mentality of 'i just have to start and i can write a killer intro at the end if i have to'. What you'll find is that writing the body is the main thing, and then the intro will kind of just 'appear' at the end. write sketchy intro, write body, re-write intro, edit body, edit intro, write final statement, edit final statement, edit the intro again because i thought of a cool way to start. Edit final statement again because i thougth of a cooler way to end. Example.

Thank you Benjamin! That's fine, most of my friends in consulting did not have a business degree. So first, you should decide on one of those directions and double down on it for cover letters, you definitely want to highlight things specific to each industry (finance vs. consulting). For finance your hook might be related to current events, and your take on how that affects the macro environment. For consulting something like the hook in this template? :)

@JeffSu 2 года назад

Hi Vince, thanks for your comment! So first of all, don't worry about ATS. Focus on networking and getting your cover letter read :). As a fresh grad, recruiters wouldn't expect you to have tons of experience, they'll actually be interested to hear more about your side projects and how you might be able to provide *fresh* perspective with your own unique background and experiences, so lean into that!

I want to say Thank you for this amazing video. This helped me a lot to get an interview for a job that I've always wanted. I believe the cover letter that I wrote was enough to get me to go to the next step. Now, As you said it before, the interview part is on us to make sure to get the job lol Thank you!

Whatsup J, loving the content on cover letters, résumés, interviewing tips, and all the rest! Wondering whether you have some content planned on all these things when you are going for a different/higher role in your current organization? You speak about the strategies to use in the job application process for organizations that have never seen you, but what about those that have? I'd be super interested to see your take on this. Keep up the awesome stuff!

Your typing Speed is Insane !!! I am impressed Please make a video on how you type so fast. It would be appreciated.

@JeffSu 2 года назад

Thanks Rugved! So embarrassingly enough I actually have done typing tests and I don't think I'm that fast 😭, I'm at like 134 WPM or something (compared to 150+ for those REALLY insane typers). BUT if you're interested, you can check out my keyboards shortcut video. I think using shortcuts helps me come off as typing super fast haha

@yashaymulraj1910 2 года назад

this was great. thank you so much for this content Jeff! I truly appreciate it! Do you perhaps have any resume templates/cover letters for someone interested fashion buying or buying in general?

@JeffSu 2 года назад

Hi Yashay - Both the cover letter and resume templates are applicable across all industries :). The main point is to understand the methodology behind the templates and apply that to your own use case

Hi, I am applying for a fashion internship/assistant job and thinking about a good hook. Thank you for your tips:)

@JeffSu 2 года назад

Would this be at the company side or with an agency? Those would be very different. If I assume it's luxury fashion you're going to have to show an experience (i.e. trigger) that resulted in you wanting to pursue this career path

I’ve always wanted to go into law but after spending a year in university, I realize that I have to go through countless hoops just to get to law. I took some law classes and holy shit…….I’ve never been more interested and had more fun than being in those classes and going to court and watching a real case! It’s something I will never forget and even though I don’t have any formal experience besides those classes, I want to be in that environment so I’m trying to apply as a legal assistant as I know about law on a very basic level and would love to learn but I also deal with people all day in my current job. I have a pretty good resume with good experience and good references but I think my cover letter will be the driving force to land me and interview in this profession. I hope it does work! Law really always has been my dream!
