Can anyone help me in writing a cover letter?

Hi there,

Send me a PM and I can provide you with a Cover Letter template as well as examples across a range of companies. Always happy to guide you in the process and review your documents.

Here's some guidance in the meantime

1. Step 1 - Figure out the topics for your key paragraphs. These need to be based on what consulting companies are looking for. I.e.:
   1. Quantitative + qualitative analytical skills
   2. xxx (message for more)
2. Step 2 - Once you've picked 3-5 of these, write your paragraphs
   1. Make them succinct (3-5 sentences)
   2. Make sure they lead with e.g. "x company values y, and I do too"
   3. Make sure they focus on your achievements. You have to sell yourself here
3. Step 3 - For any given company cover letter, find out what the company cares most about. Then slot in 3 of the paragraphs that fit best (again, ideally you have 5 to choose from)
4. Step 4 - Tweak the language of each paragraph to fit the company's website, application posting, etc. I.e. Curiosity might become passion for learning.

Then, of course, you need an intro paragraph summarizing your interest + reasons why as well as a closing paragraph doing the same with new language.

Hi there,

As a general rule, you can structure a cover in 4 parts:

1. Introduction, mentioning the position you are interested in and a specific element you find attractive for that company
2. Why you are qualified for the job, where you can report 3 skills/stories from your CV, ideally related to leadership, impact, drive and teamwork
3. Why you are interested in that particular firm, with additional 1-2 specific reasons
4. Final remarks, mentioning again your interest and contacts

In part 2 – the one you are referring to – you can write about experiences that show skills useful in consulting such as drive, problem-solving, leadership, teamwork and convincing others. If you need specific help, please feel free to PM me.

It is important that in part 3 you make your cover specific to a particular firm – the rule of thumb is, can you send the exact same cover to another consulting company if you change the name? If that’s the case, your cover is too generic.

Hope this helps,

Francesco

Hello!

+1 to Francesco, he described you perfectly the steps to follow. 

Furthermore, once you have it drafted, why don´t you post it here? Sanitized, of course!

This way, you will have multiple input from the community, which is very enriching!

Hope it helps!
