A clever and powerful strategy for writing a cover letter that will get you interviewed!
I decided to share this video because JT is a thought leader in career counseling and her comments and ideas are spot on. I agree completely with her thought process in this excellent presentation on cover letters, with only two exceptions.
JT believes that the cover letter is more important than the resume… my exception is that unless it’s a referral, chances are slim that you will even talk to a recruiter unless your resume has passed scrutiny from both ATS and the recruiter. It is at this control point, when you have hit the radar, that the cover letter takes the leading role. My other exception is to point out that the clever and powerful strategy JT proposes, only works for a specific application, and again, you will need your resume for your ticket to ride.
