In this video, we go over what makes a successful cover letter by exploring common mistakes and providing practical solutions.
Using my own cover letter as an example, I reveal the five key mistakes I made back in the day that led to multiple rejections, and how you can avoid these pitfalls.
Mistake 1️⃣: A generic or impersonal address can immediately signal a lack of research
Mistake 2️⃣: Grammatical errors and typos can quickly tank your application
Mistake 3️⃣: A weak introduction can cost you the reader's attention. Discover how to write a compelling hook by addressing a relatable pain point for the company and positioning yourself as a solution
Mistake 4️⃣: Vague descriptions don't impress; quantify your achievements instead
Mistake 5️⃣: Proper cover letter hygiene matters. Avoid oversharing personal information, using industry-specific jargon, and writing excessively long letters
