How to prepare your cover letter and your LinkedIn profile

5/28
Recursos

Una carta de presentación es un documento anexado junto con tu perfil profesional. En esta carta, expresas quién eres, tus habilidades y por qué te interesas en enviar tu CV a una empresa en particular para persuadir al reclutador a leer tu perfil.

Consejos para escribir tu carta de presentación

Tu carta de presentación no debe superar una extensión de una hoja y debe contener la siguiente información.

  • Your personal information, contact details, and the date.
  • Recipient’s name and address.
  • An opening paragraph that includes your skills.
  • Include why you are the right person for the job and why the company is right for you.
  • Conclusion with a call to action.
  • Complimentary closing and your signature.

Cover Letter example

Tu perfil en LinkedIn

Tu perfil en LinkedIn debe complementar tu resumen o tu CV con más información, no debe ser una copia del mismo.

  • Having a professional profile photo and using a cover photo that has to do with your field.
  • Having a descriptive but short headline.
  • Including your professional summary.
  • Highlighting projects and content you have created.
  • Select your strongest skills.
  • Expand your network and be present.
  • Share relevant content.
  • Have a personalized URL with your name and last name.

La prolijidad de tus perfiles profesionales hablarán por ti. Asegúrate de dedicarle el tiempo necesario para mejorarlos al máximo. Recuerda también agregar tus certificados de Platzi a LinkedIn para complementar el conocimiento en tu especialidad.

Hi Carolina,
I have these questions:
A. the cover letter should be in the same pdf of the resumé?
B. Can I write the content of the cover letter in the body of the email?

Thanks,

Hello classmates

You can take a look at my LinkedIn below

The cover letter is not very used in Colombia, I suppose this is more important internationally.

I'm agree with she when say the recruiter are looking for traits and soft skills but no at the CV. the soft skill are mandatory but for the interview; in the other hand hard and specific skills are helpful in the CV.

I never used a cover letter 😕

Here is my profile, but I couldn’t remove the line in the middle of my name due to there is another profile using that form 😄

Hi
Hola
Very good

In the case of direct contact via email with the company, to apply for a position or published on its website, the Text of the Email works as a cover letter most of the time. In some job board websites they ask to attach the cover letter, and in that case you must prepare yourself correctly for the position and the company.

Hello Everyone! I share my LinkedIn Profile, I would greatly appreciate any feedback.
