The part most people skip

Cover Letter

A cover letter written for one role, in your voice, saying the thing your resume cannot.

Is this you?

  • The application asks for a cover letter and you have been avoiding it.
  • You have a gap, a career change or a move that needs explaining.
  • Your last letter was a template with the company name swapped in.
  • You want to say why this employer, and cannot find the words.

Why it matters

A resume lists what you did. It has no way to say why you want this job or to answer the obvious question a hiring manager is already asking about your history. Leaving that unanswered means someone else fills in the blank for you, and they rarely fill it in generously.

What you get

  • One cover letter written for one role and one employer.
  • Your gap, change or move addressed directly, without apology.
  • A reason for this employer that is specific to them.
  • The editable file you can adapt for the next application.

How it works

1

Send the role

The posting, your resume, and anything you want said or left out.

2

We write it

In your voice, at the length the employer asked for.

3

You send it

Yours to adjust. Most people reuse the structure for later applications.

The assistant on the candidates page writes a free opening paragraph for your role so you can see the approach before paying for the letter.

When this is not the right one

If the employer did not ask for one and the application has no place to put it, spend the money on aligning the resume instead.

Questions

How long will it be?

One page, usually shorter. Long letters do not get read.

Can you explain a gap?

Yes, and directly. A gap that is explained plainly stops being a question.

Will it sound like a template?

It is written for one role. That is the whole point of paying for one.
