In this episode, Dr. Emily Zarka, discusses how to write effective cover letters and personal statements that persuasively represent your best self.

Framing it as a genre was a relief, thank you.
thank you for important informations
Thank you so much for making this type of writing seem so manageable! It was very helpful. One thing I want to mention is that using working late as an example of a good skill for a cover letter seems doesn't seem like a healthy thing to do, it kind of has a toxic work environment feel to it. I think mentioning things like this (working late hours, not taking days off, not planing to go on a maternity leave) is not the best choice to present yourself as it might give you an unfair advantage and attract the wrong type of leadership.
