Six consecutive job rejection emails in a row. Watched this video earlier today. Applied to a job and wrote the CL as I learned here and I just got an email telling me that I made it to the second stage!!! THIS REALLY REALLY WORKS!!! Thank you Andrew!
@@Anto-xn9rf First paragraph: I'm writing to inquire about... Second paragraph: I offer x years of experience in y. The top portion of my resume outlines my accomplishments regarding z. Third paragraph: I’d be welcome to speak with you if you think I’d be a strong candidate for this or any position in the organization
Update: The first time I used this I unfortunately did not get the interview. However, I got the longest/nicest rejection letter I've ever seen in my life. LOL.
I changed my resume following Andy's advice and got the nicest rejection email yet. Infact, I got 2 rejection emails where both used the word impressive as they told me I was unsucessful.
These are the type of things they should be teaching us in high school!! Thank you so much, I can now sat I am ready send in my resume and cover letter.
It's actually incredible. Two days ago I followed your format for my cover letter for a very important job offer. I must say, I was not very convinced. Today I just got a call, I passeD the first step. THANK YOU !!!
Hi Andrew, off late I have been following your videos on resume , cover letters etc. I just redesigned my resume based on your inputs & wrote a cover letter with exactly(point to point) the same 4 sentences you mentioned in this video & I got the call this morning immediately. I have been in job hunting mode for close to 2 months now & have not been getting a single call, so for me this itself looks like a big accomplishment! I am feeling so happy & just wanted to say a BIG THANKS to you! I really feel that your strategies are simple yet very powerful!!!! I am now going to follow the rest of your videos for the interview preparation.
I LOVE TO HEAR THIS! You made my day with this one. I'm truly happy I was able to help and get you moving in the right direction. Please let me know how the interview goes!!!!!
Omg I did this yesterday! Sent in 5 cover letters and resumes, got a freaking email back from the senior recruiter!!! I have been applying since October!! I’m so happy! I know when I get the interview I’m going to crush it and get the job! Thank you!!! To anyone doubting this works, don’t! Go change your cover letter asap!
I followed the format that you laid out here and was asked to interview within a week. Not only did this work, but it was so much easier than trying to write three paragraphs about my career goals and experiences. Thanks, Andrew!
Followed this “any other position in your organization” recommendation of yours and was contacted a few months later for an even higher up position than the original I applied for (which I got) It was a very good lesson to me and has taught not just to listen to you 😉 but to put myself out there. Because of that experience I will strive higher for life. Hard to get what we want if we don’t shoot🏀😊
😢omg. I'm litterly in tears. I've been wrecking my brain on how to put this cover letter, and you couldn't have explained it any better. Straightforward. Thank you so much
@@digmariebaez6368 I don't know about 10 hours, but I for sure have spent a good hour two writing up CLs. I'm taking Andrew's approach this time around and let's see how it goes.
But I've also heard that you should make the CL very reflective of you as a person, to really show who you are, rather than a very rote-sounding one. And don't you also need to include some key words and phrases from the job description? I'm getting so confused with some of the differing advice I'm hearing
So... I did this with a really skeptical mind a week ago and I got called today, I'll be doing a test tomorrow afternoon, so honestly, thank you so much for this video
I like the "or any other position" part. I can very easily imagine them just rushing through these trying to find a person to fill this spot, but it turns out they actually would consider you qualified for the supervisor position above this, that you didn't think you would bother applying for.
Hello Andrew, i've got now a Job Interview a few hours after i send out my emails. I created my resume in 8-10 hours perfectly. Everything was completly new, because im from germany and came to canada with a work permit. You helped me a lot!!! I hope you get more clicks.. and can help more people. Thank you, Jan
Jan, I'm so happy to hear. Lots of luck with your pursuits! Please help me by sharing my youtube channel and blog (www.andrewlacivita.com). It's so great to hear these endorsements, which keep me going too!
I had been trying to break into a new field for months , I watched this, I changed my cover letter to match the format you suggested, Got the first job I applied to with the new cover letter. Excellent advice. THANKS SO MUCH
This cover letter format really works. I am a true believe of its magic. I helped a friend looking for a job using this suggested cover letter format, and he was not offered at three different companies; however, he still got three other job offers with a much higher pay rate than the ones that declined him. Thank you to Andrew LaCivita.
This was so awesome!! I have been spending hours writing a cover letter, while also wandering how much employers care about it. Thank you so much for the tips.
Video points. 1. Introduce yourself briefly. 2. Your reason and expertise. 3. Be confident telling them why. 4. Intreege in resume. 5. Thank them for taking the time to read it.
After sending tons of cover letter along with my CV, i'm glad that i've found your video I've followed your steps and guys i've received a call from a company saying that they are offering me a job Thank you sir 🙌
Short and sweet, but most importantly hits every point. I have been struggling to write cover letter's for years. I never thought, I would be typing away at 2 am in the morning, it's all coming together and I am more than happy! Thanks Andrew
Let me tell you something Andrew, you're brilliant and genius . I was doing the same mistakes every time and wondering why I'm not getting accepted every time!!! Now you have bombarded me with this and I got the root cause finally ... MUCH APPRECIATED & THANK YOU SO MUCH ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I seriously remember watching this a couple of yrs ago and I landed the job with this cover letter. I know for a fact that it was this video that helped me. I don’t know if you will even read read this but I Thank you so very much 🙂💗
I watched this video yesterday on Sunday, 8/30/2020 and revised my resume and cover letter, using all of your recommendations, and applied to two jobs. I received interview requests from them both on Monday, 8/31/2020! ANDY, thank you! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Question Andy! Do you have videos about taking the pre employment assessments? The behavioral questions are always so dumb but some companies require it before they even do the phone interview?
Having been employed at the same company for many years and now finding myself back on a job search, I find these snip-its of tips very helpful. Thanks
Wendy, I'm so thrilled to hear it's helping. Hopefully you can check out my blog (www.andrewlacivita.com) because there are tons of articles and giveaways that will help. I also have a workshop coming up on October 27th that will be a huge help. If you subscribe to the blog, you'll get the notifications for that as well!
Thank you Andrew, I sent my cover letter last week Tuesday and now I'm at the final stage of my interview. Honestly this is the best way to write a cover letter. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THIS WORKED!!!!!!!. P.S I have sent out over 15 cover letter with no response before I sent this final one. Thank you.
@@andylacivita Just found your video on brief cover letters. I would like to recommend local temp/placement agencies see this, and take note of the phrase, "people need help with how to think.".
Great video Andrew! As a recruiter I can definitely attest to the fact that for certain aspects of the application process, less can be more if the information is targeted correctly!
Thanks, Andrew. I am writing a cover letter for the first time as I am in my last semester of college studying Industrial engineering and have begun to apply and network with more companies in person, Linkedin, etc. in order to find a full-time position after graduation. I feel like I have created a solid resume and then the thought that I also need to write a cover letter came to mind. I was stressed at first as I spent a lot of time articulating my experiences already in my resume and want to follow up with recruiters I meet yesterday asap. However, from your video I realize it is truly not that complicated, and keeping it short and simple is the best way to approach it.
Thanks for the advice. I will be using it to write my first cover letter ever. I started at my current company when I was 18 and have worked there for over 13 years, so I've never needed to write a cover letter before.
I graduated in July and have been struggling with getting a job since! I’ll be following this structure & see how it goes- thankyou I will keep you updated!
Thank you so much for this man, just finished my college degree last month and maybe this is the reason why I am having challenges getting to be hired. I didn't have my own cover letter. After watching this video, will definitely create my own, appreciate the time that you have shared this to us man. Looking forward to more tips to come!
Hi Andrew, I have followed your guidence of resume making. Updated my resume after which i started getting calls from the companies that have rejected my resume in the past. Thank you for sharing such a valuable information. God bless you.
Hi Andrew!, Thanks a lot for this video it actually worked for me, I got 2 job oportunities overseas a few weeks ago thanks to this video, I did not get one but they were very interested to work in the near future with me (they said that I dont take it as a rejection) but got another job offer from another country anyhow to work remotely (Im working now with them). thanks a lot again I have to say that I actually been on my search hunt outside my country since 2 or 3 years back, but I did not know how the cover letter its very important.
Alfredo! This is AWESOME news! I'm so glad my material helped you land a job. Thank you too for sharing a bit of your story! I always love to hear how my community is doing. Lots of luck with the new job!
So I haven't had a cover letter in years! YEARS! So thanks to this video I have one now and with the spare time now REVAMPED my resume. I just applied to a really really awesome position! I don't care if I don't get it, I'm just proud right now. Thanks!
You know, the terrible news is that I am just discovering this video. The best news is that I’ve discovered this video! Using your technique, I just drafted one of the best cover letter I’ve ever written in about 25minutes with great confidence when I’ve spent hours and days on other cover letters in the past and didn’t feel so great about them! Thank you! On next, to your resume resources!
This video showed up “randomly” but I do believe it was meant to be that I viewed it! I loved how concisely you presented the information; you’re exactly right everyone is moving so fast that they can’t think straight so brevity combined with clarity and conciseness is the most effective formula. I subscribed based on this one video! My situation is so dire; I can’t pay rent or anything so I have to find a job immediately. So thank you for this video!!
"People need help with how to think these days" That was insightful. I often realize I give people the answer to their job, and now I understand why. Now I can look at this in a positive manner. Thanks!
Hi Andrew, I have sent over 40+ resumes with my “custom” cover letter over the past several months. I didn’t receive one response. Over this weekend I observed this video, reviewed the template and sent out a few resumes yesterday using your cover letter template. Do you know I was just invited for a phone interview today on my recent application? It clearly works. Of course, I have many hurdles from here but this is a start. Thank you for being a wonderful resource!
Quality is always > quantity. When I was a hiring manager, I was much more likely to completely read a concise letter, but rarely fully read a long letter.
Good evening!!! I found your channel last week, followed your cover letter, resume, and interview videos, and applied to a position that I really wanted. Tomorrow would be a week since I sent in the application. I was hired today. Many, many thanks!!!!
Andy, I watched this two years ago for my last job hunting which you helped me successful in landing on a job. and I think this is still the best video out there to help people. Big thank you!!
I used the 4 sentences you suggested to include, and I got asked for 2 interviews already! Now I just need luck for the interview haha Thank you for your advices, it helped a lot!
I always get nervous whenever the need of writing a cover letter comes across me, but simple formula have installed me a great deal of confidence. thank you very much.
Thank you for the advice of letting employers know if they consider one to be a good candidate for this or any other position. That was very insightful.
Great perspective on this. Too often candidates are all over the place with cover letters. Using the job description as a guide is really useful (it literally has all the details of what the employer is looking for!)
This video is from 2016 and I'm here in 2022. This is still relevant and the simplest approach at creating a quick effective cover letter. Thank you for these tips!
I love your style. I'm in the process of trying to compile a resume. Then the thought occurred to me. I have to write a "cover letter". I appreciated your explanation. It IS all about time. Make it brief. Just as the French word, "brief history". Again thanks for taking the time for this video.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. after 8 years working for the same business, today i am back to job search. it's a lit of bit frustrating .. but life must go on.. Good luck to everyone. God Bless you Andrew LaCivita.
Okay. I thought it was relevant to share. I came across your video last week. I saw the long number of comments and thought it doesn’t hurt to try it. I sent out my resume and cover letter last Wednesday and heard back within the day. I have two interviews with two different companies scheduled in less than a week. I watched your videos about interviews and used the questions referenced in the videos. Thank you. I have been looking into transitioning my career for two years and now it actually feels possible.
Thank you very much for this. This was so simple to follow. I've been having anxiety about trying to create a cover letter. You've made it attainable. Thank you.
Wow! 1. I just watched your video on Feb 3, 2. Followed your cover letter format, 3. Followed instruction provided by the hiring manager & sent the cover letter together with my resume, 4. On Feb 4, woke up the next morning reading the employer's reply that I'm onto the next level of the hiring process. :) Great! Although I'm not yet hired but I'm very much happy about the very quick result/response. Good luck to me ! Thank you very much Andrew! Your help is very much appreciated. New subscriber here :)
I literally have never seen a cover letter before. People always talk about resumes but never this. My cover letter was so bad and I didn’t even know it. My resume is perfect. My cover letter may actually be the problem smh.
I'm so grateful I found your channel, Andrew! I've just used the format you outline here to draft a cover letter for an entry-level job in a preferred organization. Now I wait and pray, and work to repeat the process as there are a number of other postings available for my skills and experience. Thanks!
Such great information, I’m almost embarrassed for my lengthy cover letter. However, when you know better you do better. Thank you so much. You’re one of thee best
Thanks Kevin. We need to be more of a quality over quantity type of society. Good luck with the template. Play around with it as you need. I also a 7 sentence version I recently released. Still compact, but very powerful Try that one too. You can find in the recent uploads.
@@andylacivita I refer back to this video every time I write a cover letter. I will most definitely check out the seven sentence video. Thank you so much!
OK. Wow. I watched this video as I was putting together a cover letter recently. I had been overthinking things. I followed Andy's tips here and....For the first time in years (yes, years), the employer contacted me for an interview. (Now to look up Andy's interviewing tips.) Thank you!! Best wishes to all the job-searchers here.
I know this video is old, but this is the quickest cover letter I've ever written, not sure if it'll land me an interview, but it definitely did save me a lot of time! I usually spend hours trying to figure out wth i should say.
I'm not sure why I looked this up right after I handed in my resume to a job I really want, but I'm literally going to write up a cover letter and go back and hand it in right now. Edit: it looks good! Gonna head of now and do this. I have a good feeling.
Right on the ball. I have always said to leave all of the info with the cv or resume, because like you said the cover letter is just to raise intrigue and ensure your resume gets opened. So this was great for clarification. Better to hear it from a pro and not from.friends and family. Times change and so does industry and methods of recruiting. Thank you.
Your tips really helped me. I used your cover letter and cv tips and I was able to get five interviews within the space of one year, on top of that several calls for interviews which I could not take. Thanks again.
This video really helped me a lot i was freaking out about having to do a cover letter for this job i really want because i have been out of school for a year now and am out of touch with writing things and the structure of them. THANKS SO MUCH DUDE!
Posted June 19, 2020. My hours have been severely reduced since mid March 2020. I am in my late 40's, in the workforce over 20 years, so I am overwhelmingly certain this position will end soon. Stumbled onto this video 6/18/20. I've been here before, in the job hunt. Followed the advice, made my cover letter (e-mail) as Hemingway as possible, short and to the point. This morning, a recruiter called. No job offer, BUT, this tiny bit of feedback helps.
I'm looking to switch careers and this was very helpful. I tend to fret over cover letters, partly because I have been a professional writer and professor. Going to give this a go!
I followed your format for my cover letter and was offered a position that didn't even exist. Seriously. Thank you!
Out. Stand. Ing.
Whoa, that's so cool, congrats!
That's awesome. Congrats!
Lol
Sounds like satire lol
Six consecutive job rejection emails in a row. Watched this video earlier today. Applied to a job and wrote the CL as I learned here and I just got an email telling me that I made it to the second stage!!! THIS REALLY REALLY WORKS!!! Thank you Andrew!
Great to hear!!
Hi can you please tell me exactly what are these sentences we should use?? I didn’t really get it lol
@@Anto-xn9rf First paragraph: I'm writing to inquire about...
Second paragraph: I offer x years of experience in y. The top portion of my resume outlines my accomplishments regarding z.
Third paragraph: I’d be welcome to speak with you if you think I’d be a strong candidate for this or any position in the organization
Congratulations 🎉
followed your format. I started my own company, I was interviewed by myself, and got accepted. Thanks!
😂 glad you were impressed with yourself! You picked a winner!!!
LoL
Congratulations!!!
LOL
I was interviewed by myself and got rejected
Update: The first time I used this I unfortunately did not get the interview. However, I got the longest/nicest rejection letter I've ever seen in my life. LOL.
I changed my resume following Andy's advice and got the nicest rejection email yet. Infact, I got 2 rejection emails where both used the word impressive as they told me I was unsucessful.
for real😂 me too and i don't even mad about it
Atleast your application didnt go to junk mail. Thats a positive sign. You legit didnt make it.
All the best though..lets keep trying guys
No way? Did they at least state why they rejected? Lol
This got me an interview 2 years back, I got the job. I want to change jobs now and I'm back here, commenting
is the least I could do.
Okay, so I gave this a chance. I never wrote cover letters. The FIRST time I do it, I got an interview and the job!!!
Love this and congratulations!!!🎉🎈🎊🍾
Really?!!! Ok I’m doing it!
Ohh wow! It's cool. I'm gonna do it🔥💯
I'm writing mine tommorow. Wish me luck guys.
Do you have an example of your “ I offer X years of experience” 🥺
These are the type of things they should be teaching us in high school!! Thank you so much, I can now sat I am ready send in my resume and cover letter.
Great to hear Nayeli!
Why don’t they teach high school kids? Good suggestion. I wish they can teach some real life skills to young almost adults.
True, but. If everyone was using this technique. You would, have to find another way, to stand out.
Instead they teach us stuff that we will probably never use...
I leaned this in business management but I forgot it because I didnt pay attention
Used the 4 sentence cover letter and received an interview within 2 days. Thanks a million!
Outstanding to hear Henry!
It's actually incredible. Two days ago I followed your format for my cover letter for a very important job offer. I must say, I was not very convinced. Today I just got a call, I passeD the first step. THANK YOU !!!
Hang with me. We'll get you there! :-)
Hi Andrew, off late I have been following your videos on resume , cover letters etc. I just redesigned my resume based on your inputs & wrote a cover letter with exactly(point to point) the same 4 sentences you mentioned in this video & I got the call this morning immediately.

Congratulations
hi Vat4444 i'm happy for you, ansd i want really have a copy of your cover letter if it's possible. thank you.

To anyone doubting this works, don’t! Go change your cover letter asap!
Great job and thank you for sharing! 😊🙌 Keep me posted!
I was experiencing blank page syndrome when sitting down to write my cover letter. Thanks for this, it was super helpful!
So glad you enjoyed it and thank YOU for the SUPER THANKS!!
Thanks for respecting my time and getting to the point right away.
You’re welcome. I do my best but also like to give you context upfront so you can understand the rationale for the points!

You're welcome!!!
Thank you so much for this man, just finished my college degree last month and maybe this is the reason why I am having challenges getting to be hired. I didn't have my own cover letter. After watching this video, will definitely create my own, appreciate the time that you have shared this to us man. Looking forward to more tips to come!
Great to hear!
Andrew you're the best !
I applied your technique and got 2 interviews out of 3 applications !
Thanks for the early Christmas gift 😅
Hi Andrew,
I have followed your guidence of resume making. Updated my resume after which i started getting calls from the companies that have rejected my resume in the past. Thank you for sharing such a valuable information. God bless you.
Hi Andrew!, Thanks a lot for this video it actually worked for me, I got 2 job oportunities overseas a few weeks ago thanks to this video, I did not get one but they were very interested to work in the near future with me (they said that I dont take it as a rejection) but got another job offer from another country anyhow to work remotely (Im working now with them). thanks a lot again I have to say that I actually been on my search hunt outside my country since 2 or 3 years back, but I did not know how the cover letter its very important.
Alfredo! This is AWESOME news! I'm so glad my material helped you land a job. Thank you too for sharing a bit of your story! I always love to hear how my community is doing. Lots of luck with the new job!
Congratulations!!!
So I haven't had a cover letter in years! YEARS! So thanks to this video I have one now and with the spare time now REVAMPED my resume. I just applied to a really really awesome position! I don't care if I don't get it, I'm just proud right now. Thanks!
Love to hear it!!
You know, the terrible news is that I am just discovering this video. The best news is that I’ve discovered this video! Using your technique, I just drafted one of the best cover letter I’ve ever written in about 25minutes with great confidence when I’ve spent hours and days on other cover letters in the past and didn’t feel so great about them! Thank you! On next, to your resume resources!
This video showed up “randomly” but I do believe it was meant to be that I viewed it! I loved how concisely you presented the information; you’re exactly right everyone is moving so fast that they can’t think straight so brevity combined with clarity and conciseness is the most effective formula. I subscribed based on this one video! My situation is so dire; I can’t pay rent or anything so I have to find a job immediately. So thank you for this video!!
"People need help with how to think these days"
That was insightful. I often realize I give people the answer to their job, and now I understand why. Now I can look at this in a positive manner. Thanks!
Hi Andrew, I have sent over 40+ resumes with my “custom” cover letter over the past several months. I didn’t receive one response. Over this weekend I observed this video, reviewed the template and sent out a few resumes yesterday using your cover letter template. Do you know I was just invited for a phone interview today on my recent application? It clearly works. Of course, I have many hurdles from here but this is a start. Thank you for being a wonderful resource!
Yeeeeeeeeessssssss! Love to hear this and loads of luck on your upcoming interviews!!
Quality is always > quantity. When I was a hiring manager, I was much more likely to completely read a concise letter, but rarely fully read a long letter.
For the lack of better words, you're GOD SENT. Thank you!
Wow, you are too kind! Thank you!
Did this 2 days ago starting to look for a new sales role. Got my first interview today. Such a simple straightforward but effective approach.
You SAVED me! I appreciate this video so much. I hated and avoided writing cover letters until I watched this.
You're welcome Zay!
Lol, I avoided writing cover letters too.
Good evening!!! I found your channel last week, followed your cover letter, resume, and interview videos, and applied to a position that I really wanted. Tomorrow would be a week since I sent in the application. I was hired today. Many, many thanks!!!!
Yeah! Big congratulations Simone!!!!
Andy, I watched this two years ago for my last job hunting which you helped me successful in landing on a job. and I think this is still the best video out there to help people. Big thank you!!
It’s sure is an oldie but a goodie!!
I followed your cover letter format and was offered my dream job!
Awesome!
I used the 4 sentences you suggested to include, and I got asked for 2 interviews already! Now I just need luck for the interview haha
Thank you for your advices, it helped a lot!
Love this Anna! Congrats!🍾🎊🎉🎈
What a relief to listen to this and not hear the same ole cliches and how a cover letter needs to be a page long. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
I always get nervous whenever the need of writing a cover letter comes across me, but simple formula have installed me a great deal of confidence. thank you very much.
That's great to hear!
Thank you for the advice of letting employers know if they consider one to be a good candidate for this or any other position. That was very insightful.
You're so welcome Josephine. Glad you liked it!
I always come back to this video when I need to write a cover letter. Concise and straight to the point!
Love it!!
Great perspective on this. Too often candidates are all over the place with cover letters. Using the job description as a guide is really useful (it literally has all the details of what the employer is looking for!)
Well said!
Sir can give Ur email address..
This video is from 2016 and I'm here in 2022. This is still relevant and the simplest approach at creating a quick effective cover letter. Thank you for these tips!
You are so welcome. I’m still answering questions and comments too!! 😊
Watched this video yesterday, did exactly what you said and today i get a call for an interview! This really works! Thanks!!
I love your style. I'm in the process of trying to compile a resume. Then the thought occurred to me. I have to write a "cover letter". I appreciated your explanation. It IS all about time. Make it brief. Just as the French word, "brief history". Again thanks for taking the time for this video.
Glad it helped!
I was having cover letter paralysis. This was so unbelievably helpful & will be my go-to template moving forward. Thank you!
You’re welcome!!
I have to say out of my 18 years experience, this has to be some of the best advice/ information given. Thank you for your help Mr. Andrew.
Love to hear it Gordon!
Respected my time got straight to the point no advertisements thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. after 8 years working for the same business, today i am back to job search. it's a lit of bit frustrating .. but life must go on.. Good luck to everyone. God Bless you Andrew LaCivita.
You're welcome Sarah! Keep your spirits up. You got this. And, keep an eye on my channel for all the help you need!
Thanks, Your word mean a lot to me. feeling very sad.
Okay. I thought it was relevant to share. I came across your video last week. I saw the long number of comments and thought it doesn’t hurt to try it. I sent out my resume and cover letter last Wednesday and heard back within the day. I have two interviews with two different companies scheduled in less than a week. I watched your videos about interviews and used the questions referenced in the videos. Thank you. I have been looking into transitioning my career for two years and now it actually feels possible.
Sara!!!! Yes!! I’m so glad my material is helping you and lots of luck with your interview is over the upcoming weeks! Good luck!
I watched your video last night and sent it in today.. I now have a interview tomorrow. No joke. Thank you!!!
Yeah!!!
Thank you very much for this. This was so simple to follow. I've been having anxiety about trying to create a cover letter. You've made it attainable. Thank you.
Great to hear this helped you!
Wow! 1. I just watched your video on Feb 3, 2. Followed your cover letter format, 3. Followed instruction provided by the hiring manager & sent the cover letter together with my resume, 4. On Feb 4, woke up the next morning reading the employer's reply that I'm onto the next level of the hiring process. :) Great! Although I'm not yet hired but I'm very much happy about the very quick result/response. Good luck to me ! Thank you very much Andrew! Your help is very much appreciated. New subscriber here :)
Love it and you are welcome!!
thank you...... writing a cover letter to me was like hitting keys and watching the cursor blinking for hours at a time. so thank you again.
You're welcome!
I literally have never seen a cover letter before. People always talk about resumes but never this. My cover letter was so bad and I didn’t even know it. My resume is perfect. My cover letter may actually be the problem smh.
Thanks, give it a try!
I'm so grateful I found your channel, Andrew! I've just used the format you outline here to draft a cover letter for an entry-level job in a preferred organization. Now I wait and pray, and work to repeat the process as there are a number of other postings available for my skills and experience. Thanks!
I hope you get it, and if you don’t, there are many more opportunities waiting out there!
Such great information, I’m almost embarrassed for my lengthy cover letter. However, when you know better you do better. Thank you so much. You’re one of thee best
You’re welcome Tara!
Four sentences, my kinda guy.
Thanks Kevin. We need to be more of a quality over quantity type of society. Good luck with the template. Play around with it as you need. I also a 7 sentence version I recently released. Still compact, but very powerful Try that one too. You can find in the recent uploads.
@@andylacivita I refer back to this video every time I write a cover letter. I will most definitely check out the seven sentence video. Thank you so much!
@@kevincameron192 how did you end up? Resume?
funny i was doing this all the time anyway, a happy coincidence. glad to be validated by a professional.
OK. Wow. I watched this video as I was putting together a cover letter recently. I had been overthinking things. I followed Andy's tips here and....For the first time in years (yes, years), the employer contacted me for an interview. (Now to look up Andy's interviewing tips.) Thank you!!
Best wishes to all the job-searchers here.
Glad it was helpful!
I know this video is old, but this is the quickest cover letter I've ever written, not sure if it'll land me an interview, but it definitely did save me a lot of time! I usually spend hours trying to figure out wth i should say.
Yeah baby! This video might be old but I’m still here for you!!
Glad it helped!
did it work?
I'm not sure why I looked this up right after I handed in my resume to a job I really want, but I'm literally going to write up a cover letter and go back and hand it in right now. Edit: it looks good! Gonna head of now and do this. I have a good feeling.
Right on the ball. I have always said to leave all of the info with the cv or resume, because like you said the cover letter is just to raise intrigue and ensure your resume gets opened. So this was great for clarification.
Better to hear it from a pro and not from.friends and family. Times change and so does industry and methods of recruiting. Thank you.
So true Ian. Glad you liked it!
I love this guy so much! I had no motivation to write my CV until I met him! Thanks!
Love you back Valentina!!
Giving this a shot. From the apparent success in the comment section, I’m praying I receive the same success! Thank you for this!
You're welcome!
Your tips really helped me. I used your cover letter and cv tips and I was able to get five interviews within the space of one year, on top of that several calls for interviews which I could not take. Thanks again.
Love it!!
Andrew, this is outstanding, sir! Its a bullet-point approach with just enough detail and the purpose behind each sentence. Thank you very much!
Thank you Andrew, i used your tips and format, already got an interview and job offer. Your tips are amazing.
Yeah!!!
As a person writing their first ever cover letter this video is BRILLIANT just brilliant
This video really helped me a lot i was freaking out about having to do a cover letter for this job i really want because i have been out of school for a year now and am out of touch with writing things and the structure of them. THANKS SO MUCH DUDE!
You’re so welcome Charad!
I wish they would’ve taught all this important information at schools .
I know right! My uni did it but not as well as it could of been and not everyone goes to unu
Posted June 19, 2020. My hours have been severely reduced since mid March 2020. I am in my late 40's, in the workforce over 20 years, so I am overwhelmingly certain this position will end soon. Stumbled onto this video 6/18/20. I've been here before, in the job hunt. Followed the advice, made my cover letter (e-mail) as Hemingway as possible, short and to the point. This morning, a recruiter called. No job offer, BUT, this tiny bit of feedback helps.
I'm looking to switch careers and this was very helpful. I tend to fret over cover letters, partly because I have been a professional writer and professor. Going to give this a go!
Good luck Dennis!
