 Application Requirement

Please include a cover letter as part of your application packet. There are three reasons why we require a cover letter as part of the application process: a. This is a writing job. While writing eloquent prose is not necessarily a part of the job, stringing 8-12 sentences into 2-3 coherent paragraphs absolutely is part of the job. b. Following instructions from our clients is critical to our success. If you can’t follow these instructions, we will probably not be a fit. c. The cover letter will give you the opportunity to express ideas not easily conveyed on your resume. Please address all of the following topics. Applications submitted without a cover letter addressing all of these topics will not be considered:
  • Describe your current work situation and why you are applying for this role.
  • What interested you in this role?
  • What specific skills do you possess that will help you succeed?
  • Describe your experience that relates to this position. 
  • Confirm you saw the pay rate for this position and that it meets your expectations.
