Our Process
Cover Letter Info
- Throughout our time working with individuals to help them with their writing needs, the cover letter tends to be one people get stuck on the most. Among other things, a cover letter is meant to draw attention to your resume, show your interest in the company and the position you are applying for, and give you an opportunity to sell yourself. If you’re in need of a cover letter, you’ve come to the right place!
- According to CriteriaCorp (2019), 55% of companies us an applicant tracking tool (ATS). Using certain keywords in a cover letter can help you stand out.
- While recent studies have conflicting conclusions on whether employers read cover letters (some say 56%, while other say as low at 18% and as high as 85% do), it’s important to have a well-written cover letter. It can only help, and it’s better to be prepared.
