Why You Need a Cover Letter (And How to Do It), with Nicole Fortner

Some say the cover letter is dead, but that’s not true, according to Find Your Dream Job guest Nicole Fortner. Nicole says that a well-written cover letter can increase your chances by at least 40%. The key, says Nicole, is using keywords from the job posting and keeping it concise, no more than 3-4 paragraphs. Be sure to prioritize your hard skills and share how you can elevate the company and the role.
