How to Write a Cover Letter

[@GarnetStarz]

This is actually a lot better to understand than most videos I've seen. I love using indeed so much.

Thanks so much! We are glad you enjoyed it. -CL

That’s what I’m saying!

[@starhill6792]

I still have NO idea what to write, but at least I understand the format. Wish these things were taught in schooling.

Hi Star! I can make a perfect cover letter for you for only $10. Just reply me and I will send you my e-mail. Cheers.

[@danitapia8881]

Thank you! It feels nice to know that I am not alone here. I swear trying to write a cover letter gives me anxiety because I also assume that it is not good enough or that it is wrong altogether.

[@BlueStinger475]

@@danitapia8881 I failed this one assignment because I had no idea what to write. I fully understand the anxiety. Fortunately I can redo it but I still don't know what to write

[@danitapia8881]

@@BlueStinger475 I had to write one for a college course (along with resume and CV) before and it sucked. The teacher had us (the students) grade each others work so I think the girl that did mine went easy on me. ugggh the stress

[@s_ec_r_et5008]

Yeah I’m at highschool… my English teacher is asking us to write this shit… seems like when I get there I’ll know what to do… YAY! If only this wasn’t THE LAST FUCKING DAY OF SCHOOL :v This is just her giving us work bc she wasn’t able to come to school today 😒

[@xornedge8204]

This is insanely helpful and well explained for such a short video. As Einstein said: "If you can't explain something simply, you just don't know it well enough." and this video nails the simplicity!

[@KindCurls]

This is real quality stop motion animation, good for you for thinking outside of the box! It's so much more interesting.

Thank you, Joshua! We are so glad you enjoyed the video. - KT

as a job seeker who is actively looking a job, watching this video helps me a lot on writing my own cover letters 💗 thank you so much for this cover letter writing tips, Indeed! 💗

[@REV_O1]

This was alot more helpful, than any other video I've seen on KZbin about cover letters. Short & easy to understand.

[@Indeed]

Awesome! -CC

[@michaelsherron7815]

These types of formats for teaching are needed now more than ever before in this day and age. Thanks!

[@Indeed]

Thanks you so much for watching! Definitely check out the rest of our channel for videos on interview skills, resume tips, and so much more.

[@PRATERVXEX]

It’s incredibly silly for an employer to require this when all they have to do is stop being lazy and review your résumé that you already submitted, but I’m very grateful for this explanation.

[@TakaMitsukai]

As someone who just needed something quick before submitting an application, this is spot on and fun to watch! It absolutely hits the mark!

[@azaizer]

Wow! The easiest 2 minutes of your life understanding how to successfully and meaningfully write a cover letter! Thanks so much for this!

[@_quixote]

I agree. Good luck on your job searching :)

[@Sol78651]

Things appear to be more beautiful when it gets simplified. Thank you, Indeed !

[@boredfive3001]

A lot of work just to get work

[@dominiqueih]

I know for real

[@boredfive3001]

@@dominiqueih I've submitted so many resumes with a cover letter attached. Not one single job hired me. I guess there's an absorbent amount of people applying for jobs with "better credentials". Good thing I have money, i'm just not trying to lose it. Which is why I am looking for work in the first place. However it just seems like never ending cycle of applying and getting rejected. Only had one interview after submitting my resume and it wasn't even a real interview. It was pre-recorded. No follow up. My best advice is find a trade, a family member that can get you hired at their place of work, or be an entrepreneur. Because there are no jobs available even if the jobs say their hiring. The market is over saturated.

[@NC_BamBam]

it’s 3 paragraphs. That’s like 10 mins of your time.

[@Xx1nf3ct3d_Sc4bzxX]

​@@NC_BamBam if someone is mass applying to jobs because everyone is hiring but no one wants to employ and they have 15 cover letters to do that gets annoying over time doing it multiple times per week on top of other school and life responsibilities... Especially if you never get the jobs it feels like a waste. I understand the frustration of the og commenter.

[@ericsparks]

I agree with this so much! This has been absolute BS trying to find a new job. I dread it every time I have to do this

[@_quixote]

I’ve been putting off a cover letter for a while. It’s time to finally lock in. I didn’t expect indeed’s guide to be that good though

Would you be willing to make your video closed captioned to be more accessible to all people? I teach a college class on Career Planning and would love to include this great video for my students but because it's not closed captioned, I can't. If there is another way that I am missing, please let me know.

[@finleycamp7971]

It does have closed captions but you have to activate them. In the bottom right there should be a [cc] button right beside the settings button, if you click the [cc] button it should activate the closed captions. Hope this helps!

Header: Include your name, address, phone number, email, and the date. Greeting: Address it to the hiring manager by name; if unsure, use “Dear Hiring Manager.” First Paragraph: Start with enthusiasm, mention the job title, where you found it, and why you're excited. Middle Paragraph: Highlight your relevant experience with examples that match the job requirements. Third Paragraph: Address any questions like employment gaps, thank them, and express your interest. Closing: Sign off with "Sincerely" or "Best regards," followed by your name. Proofread: Check for spelling and grammar errors to make sure it’s polished and professional.

this is so annoying, why do we have to pander to employers, they need us so their business can continue, without us "the working class" the entirety of society falls, we should all pull our weight more and force our demands on big business.

[@krishnamaggarwal9167]

Becoz if you won't somebody else will. If you are the person with those best qualifications, employers will be bidding for you.

[@tegathemenace]

Yeah writing some formal letter is done by everyone. Business owners included. What you on about😂

I’ve been applying fiercely to beginner level, no experience required, minimum wage jobs that I’m extremely overqualified for, in my shitty small town, with a supposed “bulletproof job market,” for the last 2 months. I cannot tell you how many listings I’ve come across that are offering 15 hours a week/$10 bucks an hour, that require applicants submit a cover letter. What in gods green earth is happening to our job market?
