You have a resume but you have no idea
what to write in a cover letter
People are telling you that it should be personal,
that it should expand on who you are as a professional,
that it should give a little more detail
But you just don't know where to start.
So in this video, I'm going to walk you through
the perfect cover letter template
and exactly what to write in it
when I post a new video
Let me take a guess
You are writing a cover letter
and it feels like a long wordy,
sort of inappropriate, professional "diary"
Am I right?
Well, in this video, I'm going to walk you through
my step-by-step approach in how I created
the most perfect cover letter template
that I use with all my clients
with resounding success
State the company and the position
You want to make it abundantly clear
that this cover letter has been customized
to each and every job that you're applying to.
Number two
This is where you start getting into
the expansion of your skills
And this is also where people start to fall into the "Diary" trap
is go take the summary section out of your resume
Remember that?
And expand on it
Give a little more detail
About who you are as a professional
What experience you have
Number three is where you excel
Now, I want you think about a project that you had recently
It could have been at your current job,
or at a previous job
And I want you to think of one experience that you had
Where you really excelled
You went above and beyond.
You got amazing results
And that experience ties very closely
To the kind of company that you're applying to
Or the kind of job that you're applying to
or the kind of skills that you're trying to exemplify
for that job.
So think of an example that's relevant
to the job that you're applying to,
and use that experience in this section here.
Number four is your elevator pitch
And I personally hate that word
Now, this is what I want you to do here
I want you to restate your experience,
your background, maybe educational background,
and how your skills apply to the position in question
Number five is seal it with your honest
and sincere appreciation for the person
who read your cover letter,
made it to the end and gave you time out of their day
And number six, comment below if you know exactly
what I'm going to say! Format
You want to keep the cover letter to one page.
You want to keep the white space very clear
so that your words are really standing out
and they're really highlighted on that page.
You want to use a sans font
And the most important thing to me,
and this is just my secret tip
for every single thing I write,
is make sure that the flow is visually appealing.
You don't want all six line paragraphs
Because no one wants to read that
You want to create a flow that is captivating
while still saying exactly what you need to say
in the most clear and concise way
Now you're ready to build a clear
