The problem

Looking for a job is time-consuming and frustrating. Many people struggle in articulating their motivation in a cover letter. It isn’t easy to talk about ourselves; we don’t want to underplay our experience or come across as bragging. Writing a cover letter can be intimidating or we end up reiterating our resume. It’s only later that we come to realise that it didn’t showcase our value nor resonated with the position we applied for, when we hear that they have selected another candidate, worse yet, never hear anything back.
