Description

THE ONLY COVER LETTER WRITING COURSE ON UDEMY THAT COMES WITH A FREE REVIEW OF YOUR DRAFT LETTER. 

Not getting job interviews? Write a great cover letter that gets you the job you want! Badly written job cover letters eliminate 90% of job applicants. Most applicants are not competing against other applicants for scarce jobs — they are competing against themselves!

Take this university-level course, taught by an experienced business communication professor, that outlines the secrets behind every step in writing effective cover letters.

Give yourself the best chance to get the job you want by making a great first impression with an effective cover letter.

Write a cover letter in just over one hour as you follow detailed lessons that outline the main problems found in real cover letters produced by actual job applicants.

The course presents a logical process that works through the 3 parts of a job cover letter: the header, the body, and the footer.

In this comprehensive course, I help you:

  • deconstruct the advertisement to engage with the job's requirements;
  • avoid the typical mistakes in the header;
  • write clearly and edit for perfection;
  • format the letter to create a pleasing page design;
  • make a great first impression with the opening paragraph;
  • remove vague, empty statements about your work experience;
  • go beyond static statements about "holding positions";
  • place your valuable skills in context;
  • includefactual evidence and short stories of success; and,
  • conclude in a straightforward way that avoids flattery.
