Want to Know the Secret to Standing Out in a Saturated Job Market?
There's a secret weapon you should know about!
In one of the most competitive job markets in history, job seekers like you are looking for any advantage to help them get hired.
But how do you stand out in a stack of resumes? Here's what most job seekers don't know:
Learning to write a cover letter (the right way) may help you land a job you'll love! You could get a leg up on the competition simply by writing a persuasive, impactful cover letter.
And you can have fun doing it (yes, really)!
Question: What is the most dreaded sentence in the English language?
Answer: "Please attach a cover letter to your application."
You're exhausted from applying to multiple jobs, maybe even while you're working full-time. You wonder if any hiring managers or recruiters ever even read the cover letter.
And yet, you're being asked to write yet another letter, and you don't even know what to say in it or why it's necessary.
It's tempting to just skip applying to that job, but WAIT! You can write a cover letter that is effective, and it will NOT take you forever to do it. I am here to tell you that you do NOT need to give up a potentially perfect opportunity just because you don't know how to write an effective, persuasive cover letter!

Why Take This Course?
You've tried writing a cover letter before. Maybe you used a template off of Google. You know, the old:
"I am writing to express my interest in the open [position title] that was advertised on Indeed. I believe my skills align with this position. Blah blah blah."
Or maybe you typed a prompt into ChatGPT and got some generic template spat back out.
GENERIC.
You are not generic, and nor should your cover letter be.
I designed this course to be:
- Quick
- Effective
- Fun (yes, really)! There's no reason we can't have fun while learning!
In just an afternoon, you could complete the course and write a base letter that will carry you through your entire job search!

What Makes This Course Different?
Listen, I know you know that there's plenty of advice about cover letters online. You could try to sort through all the confusing, conflicting info in your Google search and try to figure it out on your own. But if you're reading this, I'm guessing you tried that...and it didn't work out all that well.
You could also use ChatGPT to write your cover letter. But it's not going to give you a personalized result, and guess who else is using it to write their letters--yep, most of your competition. You want to stand OUT, not blend in!
There's one key difference between this course and your other options:
STRATEGY.
This course doesn't just tell you how to write your cover letter. It doesn't just give you a template. I'm going to teach you the why behind it all because that is what gets you real results.
You'll also get:
- Dozens of examples and sample language for the various part of the letter
- My proprietary Un-template, which will help you write your own letter quickly and easily.
- A few laughs! Like I said, I designed this to be FUN, so the examples are a little silly. Most courses about cover letters are, well, boring. I designed this course to be different so that you'll actually WANT to complete it!
Take the Leap!
If you've gotten this far, then you know you need help with your cover letter. Jump right in! The sooner you start the course, the sooner you'll have your cover letter ready to go when the perfect opportunity arises.
I'm Alison King, and I'm a job search pro. I'll teach you to write a cover letter so you can land a job you'll love!
I know what it's like to be in your position--overwhelmed and stressed out about the job search. This is especially true in a post-pandemic world where your priorities may have shifted and the competition is fierce.
I know exactly how you feel because that was me in 2022 when I was entrenched in my own post-pandemic, career-switch job search. It took 4 months to obtain my target position, and I wrote many, many cover letters during that time.
But why should you trust me to help you get your cover letter right?
I realized the magic of the cover letter during my search. I received multiple offers, and often, it was my cover letter that made the interviewer want to meet me (really--I was told that several times)!
Along with being a successful career-switcher, I am a career professional specializing in writing resumes and other career marketing documents for ambitious professionals looking to write a new chapter in their career!
I discovered the perfect formula for the cover letter through my own job search. And I've used it over and over again with my clients, who have similarly seen excellent results in their job searches.
And now, I can't wait to share it with YOU!
