The Killer Cover Letter

About this episode

Jac and Ral discuss how to create a standout cover letter that humanizes job applications.

In this latest episode Jac & Ral teach you how to humanise your application to stand out from the sea of AI-generated, generic slop. The cover letter shouldn’t be a summary of your CV; it's the bridge that gets you an interview to see if the role is a "fit for both of us". They also introduce you to a cool framework they developed called PROVE – and the key things NOT to do when you create your cover letter, for example don’t make your letter about you… what?? Listen in to find out what they mean by this! Fun Fact from the Episode: Jac once got a job by couriering an actual suit to an agency with her CV in the pocket because they advertised for a "suit" (account manager). Bold moves get interviews!
