Monday Motivation | Write a Memorable Cover Letter

Kick off your week with Monday Motivation!

Tip of the week:

For many positions in the creative sector, a cover letter doesn’t need to be dry in order to be professional. Write a thoughtful cover letter that is specific to the position to which you are applying, and try to include a well-placed interesting detail about your past experience or passion for the position. This is one way to help a recruiter or HR professional remember your application among all the others! This also demonstrates that you took the time to think about the role, and how your experiences would apply.
