YouTube description: “This 3-part structure on how to write a cover letter will explain all the necessary details to include with your resume in order to increase your chances of getting more interviews. It also addresses the important question: Should I write a cover letter? Our career coach breaks down why a cover letter can be beneficial for a job application, how to write it effectively, and what to include. […] The goal of a cover letter is to help you get more interviews and land the job you want. One of the main reasons why a cover letter often goes unread is because it is poorly written. This cover letter writing structure allows you to see things from a hiring manager's perspective and helps you craft the best possible cover letter.”

Note from Erik: “I highlighted key tips and steps mentioned through motion graphics such as animated side panels with text as well as engaging transitions. I also sourced and utilized stock imagery for b-roll to maximize the visuals and best represent the cover letter writing process.”
