Tip No.2:
Ditch the Cover Letter
How many times do you think a client has asked me for a cover letter in 17 years of recruitment?
ZERO. NADA. NOT ONCE.
And yet… candidates are still spending hours perfecting them.. Why?
Cover letters might have had their moment, but in today’s fast-paced market, your CV, LinkedIn profile, and how you show up in an interview matter far more.
Here’s where your energy counts:
> A sharp, tailored CV
> A strong, up-to-date LinkedIn profile
> Confidence, curiosity, and connection in the room
The truth is most hiring managers don’t even read cover letters and the ones who do are usually skimming for details they should already see in your CV.
So, if you're sweating over one right now… don't. Focus on what really moves the needle.
