Our clients often tell us that writing cover letters is one of the most frustrating and time-consuming parts of their job search. While the short answer is, “yes, you need to tailor your cover letter for each position you apply to,” we can help you to streamline this process.
Let us help you develop a customizable cover letter template that suits you and your goals. We will show you how to showcase your relevant background and transferable skills, and share tips to get your application noticed.
