How to Write a Cover Letter That Actually Gets Read

In this episode of The First Job Podcast, Lucas and Luna break down the art of the cover letter for entry-level roles. They discuss why most cover letters fail, why you should avoid opening with 'I am writing to apply for...', and how to structure a letter that hiring managers actually finish. Lucas shares a concrete example: a friend who landed a marketing coordinator interview by leading with a single insight about the company's recent campaign. They also cover the one-paragraph rule, when to skip the cover letter entirely, and why a strong closing matters more than you think. Whether you're a new grad or switching careers, this episode gives you a repeatable template. #CoverLetter #JobApplication #EntryLevel #NewGrad #Hiring #Recruitment #CareerAdvice #JobSearch #FirstJob #Resume #InterviewTips #MarketingCoordinator #HiringManager #JobHunt #Careers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TheFirstJobPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
