Episode 6: Your 5 FAQs: Cover Letters, Resumes & Job Applications

Dream job, that you?

In this episode we’re talking career copy: cover letters, resumes and job applications. I was inspired to do this as a Q&A when one of my Instagram followers messaged to say that after 100s of applications, she started using the cover letter guide inside my ebook, Employable as F*ck, and was in stage 2 of her dream job. And whatdya know, a couple of days later, Monique got the job.

So, in celebration, I put a question box on my stories asking for your burning questions – now I’m going to answer them.
