Write an Incredible Cover Letter + FREE Template
How to write a cover letter, alongside a free template is in this video. This cover letter structure has gotten me interviews top companies such as Amazon, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and more.
While the resume merely states facts about you, the cover letter lets you tell the full story of why you're the ideal candidate for the job. So in this video I'm going to walk you through how to write the best cover letter to maximise the chances of you getting to the next stage in the application process.
For this, we'll be using McKinsey & Company's Business Analyst job description as an example for which we will tailor the cover letter.
Cover letter structure:
- Header
- Opening
- Why this company/position
- Why you're the right candidate
- Closing

Kenji, would you like to do a video about the activities/clubs/organizations you were engaged in at Cornell? There are many consulting clubs, business clubs, business fraternities, and I don’t know what is useful / if it’s useful at all. Hope you do a video on that! Thanks!

Hi Jose, to be honest I didn't take part in many of these as I was in the football (soccer) team and that took a lot of time off my week so I don't think I'll be making a video just on that sorry!
