How to Write an ABC Cover Letter
In this workshop, we'll work together to create a cover letter that is Authentic, Bold, & Compelling!
Created by Flying Colors Success Services, a professional resume writing firm in business nearly 15 years, in consultation with recruiters, HR specialists, and hiring managers from a wide variety of industries.
This is NOT a course.Â
After we launched our first product, How to Write a Job-Landing Resume, we listened to your feedback. You wanted more than just the "how to." You wanted guidance, structure, and accountability. We give you all three in this guided writing workshop, plus several "done-for-you" bonuses!
The Cover Letter Advantage
A cover letter is not a box-checking exercise. It's a hack!
The Gift that Keeps on Giving...literally!
How to Write an ABC Cover Letter makes a great gift for recent or upcoming graduates or someone you know who's struggling to find their sea legs in their career journey.

Hear from Past Participants
We asked our first cohort of participants for feedback on the workshop. Here's what they had to say:
"Before I started submitting a T cover letter, I was getting 1 out of 50 hits on my applications, at best. Since I started writing these [T cover letters], I got 3 interviews on less than 10 applications!"
Joshua R.
Financial Analyst
"I always considered cover letters to be just a formality and never really gave them much thought. I certainly didn't submit one if it wasn't required. But it has, without a doubt been a game changer. I'm getting a lot more interviews now."
Nate W.
Electrical Inspector
"I was job searching for over 4 months and literally the first application I submitted using Flying Colors's method for my resume and cover letter, I got an interview that led to a new job!"
