Hello good morning

Hello good morning

[@ginafowler7950]

I have been looking for work for a couple of months now, and I wasn't even getting an interview. For the last 5 job applicaitons, I used this cover letter system. I have nailed an interview for everyone I sent. In some cases I was called within 1 hour of sending. So it definately works. In fact all of the jobs I have had interviews at commented on how my letter and cv stood out from anyone elses, and they simply had to interview me. I haven't yet landed the job, but that is really because of other factors not related to me. I am going to a second interview for a job tomorrow, which could very well land me the job. Thankyou so much for this guideline. It is amazing.

[@BadassCareers]

Wow, that's amazing! So happy to help in transforming your job search strategy ⚡️ Good luck with your second interview, keep me posted!

[@godsgrace2808]

Mid Lifer, recently downsized, says with gratitude a big thank you🙏🏼

[@jcpark1125]

let me just tell you, this is the best guide on cover letter I have ever come across on youtube!! I have developed an anxiety for making cover letters due to not getting a job related to my education for the past year which crushed my confidence. And for some reason most of the guides I’ve seen is catered to having plenty of experience or no experience at all, making it too hard to personalize the examples on my own. This video doesn’t seem far off, HOWEVER, you made the guide to help it personalize to our own situations and it breaks down the marketing psychology to really capture a hiring manager’s interest regardless of any position. This guide hands down made me a lot more confident to start and write my cover letter. I will keep an update wether I get an interview with these tips~ A quick question: How would you for example, relate a personal connection with a plumbing or a truck company, that is a bit more difficult to make an understanding or connection.

[@PhilipAburChannel]

This must be a mind set for all job applicant. One of the best selling point on how to get the job. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

[@BadassCareers]

So true! Thanks for the comment ✨

[@twicelands]

This is quite possibly the most helpful cover letter guide I've seen. Makes writing one seem a little less intimidating haha thank you! Hope I can land a role in my field soon.

This was helpful and I actually feel kind of hyped up to write one now when usually I find it super intimidating. Thanks!

[@BadassCareers]

Woo hoo! Glad I got you excited!

You are welcome! Thank you for the support ❤

[@seulstizz5628]

Wonderful video! I really liked the last part about the ending. I found it most helpful. I usually just say, "Hope to hear from you soon." Or something like that.

[@BadassCareers]

So glad you loved the video! 🤩

[@EeWe143]

Found this video in my Business Communications class. Great info! I'm going to ace this assignment, then get a better job 😄

[@renee8893]

so so helpful! was stressing over my cover letter but you hit the nail on the head! thank you :)

[@BadassCareers]

Yay! So glad to hear I could help 🌟

[@jamiejoseph3298]

I'm going through a hard time for finding a job right now and I need one real soon this makes me excited to get to working on my cover letter thank yew❤

[@BadassCareers]

I'm so glad I could get you pumped and rearing to go ⚡

[@TannerPetcovic]

So, I do think this is a good video packed in with some great advice. I want to mention one thing, however. I noticed that you mentioned this applicant could have easily addressed their cover letter to the CEO of Badass Careers, but cover letters are typically addressed to the hiring/recruiting manager. I completely agree with making the letter out to a specific individual, but chances are, in most situations, the CEO of the company isn't going to be the one reviewing your cover letter...

[@BadassCareers]

This is only because Badass Careers is a SUPER small team, so in my case, it is the CEO reading the cover letter! In larger companies that have a hiring team, you would address it to them ✨

[@mrkape5550]

Boom this is the best cover Im looking for thank you for sharing your this

[@BadassCareers]

Glad you like it! ⚡

[@SilentWolf444]

Very helpful video, thanks!

[@BadassCareers]

You're welcome! ✨

[@renaud1276]

Thank you for your video! I am using it to write a better cover letter to get a job

[@BadassCareers]

Best of luck! ✨

[@titioluokun8360]

Really educative... Thank you Rossie❤

[@BadassCareers]

No worries at all 🌟

[@jeremycarter]

Damn. I’m so disappointed that I applied for so many jobs without watching this or other CV videos first. I just used a boring CV template from Zety and I am REALLY regretting it. I just wonder how many interviews I could have landed if I used this advice? Thanks for making this video! Now time to scratch my CV and start over.

[@BadassCareers]

So glad it helped!! Sounds like you’re ready to whip that CV into shape ⚡

[@PhilipAburChannel]

I had the same mistakes as you do.

[@magnum567134]

The part I always have trouble with is telling them why they're special. I often look at the job listing first to see if it's something I might be interested in. But most jobs I find aren't with companies I even recognize. The only thing to go off is something generic corporate mission statement🙄

[@rktho2020]

Pls i want cover letter

[@kasziel]

I’m really struggling with the personality part 😫

[@maxiemaxlenonlukas]

After watched your tips how to write impressive CL, I realize my CL was in boring category. Thanks for the tips ❤

[@BadassCareers]

Happy to help! Got some fresh cover letter content coming soon too 👀

[@charlesstaudt2077]

HELLO DEAR, FROM NOW ON I BEGAN TO FOLLOW YOU 👏👏👏 CHARLES STAUDT FROM BRAZIL 🇧🇷

[@BadassCareers]

Thanks for following! 🔥

[@breemad5341]

Hi, Rosie, your videos are so inspirational🔥🤩! I had a question. Would the build desire section of the cover letter contain completely different competencies, examples, and stories that are unrelated to the information that is listed on the resume?

[@BadassCareers]

That's right! Totally different from your resume 🌟

[@jeremyyong6818]

I love your tips and videos, and you have a new subscriber! I wonder if listing your core strengths as recommended in this video may be duplicative of your resume, and should be avoided? What do you think?

[@stugooden7826]

I was thinking this same thing when the example at 7:10 came up. I think this part is a bit too verbose for a cover letter; what I do is use about two of these kind of bullets as a concise summary instead of a list. But I'm no expert lol. But this is a GREAT video!

[@kevinblus7154]

Hi Rosie, since you mentioned generating honest urgency, could you recommend a way of phrasing this urgency if you're already somewhat far along in the application process for another job? I.E. you've already had an interview. Would you recommend even mentioning other jobs you've applied for?

[@BadassCareers]

You can say you're being considered for other roles at the moment - no need to go into great detail ✨

[@JDedg]

I think the problem i have is my current role (and past roles) have been very basic, i don't have anything to talk about in a cover letter. I can't say 'i helped my company achieve this and that's why i would excel at this part of the role you have advertised' (or similar)😐

[@EeWe143]

Try focusing on what you are passionate about. Use success examples from volunteering or an outside organization if your work is bland.

[@SulemanAbbas-jp3im]

4:53 ... i am sorry, how exactly THAT substantiates what applicant is claiming, seems copy pasted from some where else, would not you say?!!!!! i'd be surprised if you say no!

[@user-zy1co9hy9m]

I thought a cover letter was only supposed to be one page.

[@BadassCareers]

Yep, I recommend that it's about 3/4 of a page approximately ⚡

[@aaronjaggers3117]

This is way to much work . They don’t want to read anything they just want the position filled and over. The person should be qualified and a good match for job . This writing the best love letter in the world ! Why .

[@oliverbruce1702]

Badass is vulgare language :(

[@Penisrules]

Should you put a job if you only had it for two days? Or if you got fired and quit from? And have no references?

[@BadassCareers]

If you were only there for a few days, it's okay to leave that off your resume if you'd prefer. Recruiters nowadays don't often care about career gaps - especially one that's two days!

[@Penisrules]

@@BadassCareers yah but then I’d have no recent experience and isn’t it better to have some experience? You can learn a lot in an hour ? Not putting things on resume shows that you don’t care about working which is not true.

[@JoseRap]

no bro. ofcourse not. dont worry the police won't investigate.

[@Penisrules]

@@JoseRap duh. But what would employers think? That you’re unreliable but if you don’t put anything on your resume then you look inexperienced. Argh I’m just going to go to uni. I want to impress and make a good impression but I don’t have any worthwhile skills. Cleaning isn’t really a skill, but eh the fact that I was even given a job and that I bothered to even apply shows that I care.. and tried. So I think i should. But then again maybe they just thought I got the job cause I’m a young woman.. I don’t want to be given a job just cause I’m a woman. I want to get it cause I deserve it and that I was the best person for the job. I don’t want a job out of pity. That isn’t real.

[@JoseRap]

@@Penisrules Put it this way, the CL is a way to sell yourself. and if you say things like "i only had this job for 2 days" it isn't a good look, so I wouldn't include it. However, the job you are applying for: you must have some sort of skill or experience that relates to this job, otherwise the desire to apply in the first place wouldn't be present. It is more common for someone to THINK "i have no experience" rather than actually having none. My advice is to take an inventory of the things you've done, things you are good at - make this into a list which you can then use for your resume and cover letter. My guess is you'll find you're selling yourself short. The very fact you're applying for a job in itself says that deep down you know you have something to offer the job, What you need to do is find out what that is and put it into words.
