Branding yourself through social media platforms sometimes is not enough. Social media platforms like LinkedIn only display your achievements and progress, but do not showcase enough about determination and motivation to apply. By writing a motivation letter and cover letter, recruiters could analyze how determined you are, the details of your background, and see where your motivation lies, your values, and many more. These aforementioned variables are important in deciding whether you are qualified or not. Not only that, by being able to write such letters, you can also enhance your storytelling skill! In this module, you will learn how to write and brand yourself coherently and in an interesting manner!
