We’ve all been there...that feeling of uncertainty looms when you sit at your computer and need to type a cover letter. We take the “easy” way out and just state facts in a polite manner so our cover letter shows professionalism, yet, says NOTHING about ourselves and how we can benefit from and contribute to the prospective employer. Cover letters are similar to college admissions essays; if executed correctly, they become strong written demonstrations of our identity which allow for a total stranger, who has your fate in his or her hands, get to know you...and ideally like you!

 

For 12 years, I have helped teenagers, college students, and professionals put what they want to clearly convey into words through college admissions essays, personal statements, and cover letters. Likewise, I have assisted in creating and editing admissions resumes, professional resumes, and military biographies. Throughout the entire college process, emotions get heightened, self-assurance may lessen, and goals becoming conflicted all tend to negatively impact strong family dynamics. Therefore, I have helped students and families through the toughest of divorce and custody situations to assisting in positive parenting skills while keeping the student's own identity unwavering and true.
