Cover Letters: We Love to Hate Them… But Here’s How to Make Them Work for You

Let’s be real. Cover letters are the broccoli of job applications. Nobody really wants them, but we all know they’re good for us (and some of us secretly love them, too — hi, that’s me 🙋‍♂️).

So, who actually reads cover letters anymore? 🙄

Well… more people than you’d think! Here’s the deal:

✅ Some hiring managers use them to test your writing skills.

✅ Some only read them if you’re already on their shortlist (which you definitely want to be on!).

✅ Some just want to see if you can follow directions.

✅ Some ATS scanners pick up keywords from them.

✅ And some hiring managers are just old-school and expect them.

In other words: until the day cover letters go extinct (please, job fairy 🧚‍♀️), they’re still worth writing.

My motto? Better safe than sorry! 😁

But here’s the good news: we’re done with the dreaded wall of text cover letter. No more five long paragraphs nobody wants to read. Hiring managers skim — so give them something worth skimming!

✨ Enter: the Easy-Scan Cover Letter. ✨

This modern style is built for busy eyes and short attention spans. It quickly highlights exactly why you’re the perfect fit. It’s clean, clear, and makes you look like the superstar you are.

And the best part? It’s actually easier to write than the old-school essays we used to call cover letters.

So next time you sigh and open that blank page — remember: A good cover letter doesn’t have to be a pain; a great one can get you noticed, and a smart one can get you hired.

Ready to ditch the wall of text and stand out? Let’s make cover letters fun again! 🎉
