The part they read first

A cover letter is what an employer reads first, which gives it more weight than most people expect. It is a marketing document: an overview that promotes the few skills and achievements that matter for the job in front of you, rather than everything you have ever done.

Plenty of people struggle to promote their own strengths. Our writers take your core accomplishments and abilities and put them in the language employers are scanning for, so your skills line up with what they say they are looking for.

It is a concise way of telling a hiring manager why they should be interviewing you. Done well, it gives you an edge over everyone else applying for the same role.
