Why entrust us with the correction of your cover letter?

Spelling, an employability criterion

Did you know?
Today, the education and training sectors, as well as companies, are strongly encouraging their students and candidates to have their skills certified. level of mastery of the French language.
For an employee, a lack of proficiency in written or oral expression can seriously hinder career development.
For companies, the stakes are enormous in terms of image, both internally and in relation to their customers.
If Le Robert or Voltaire certification is not for you, make sure you don't give in to criticism of your French.

The flawless cover letter, the "pass" to a job interview

The cover letter is the essential complement to the curriculum vitae, especially in the case of an unsolicited application. It's the letter that gives a recruiter a first glimpse of the candidate behind the résumé. This is all the more true given the trend in recent years towards the one-page Design CV, which is more concise than a traditional CV. The short format isn't just for Twitter! Fortunately, a personalized cover letter is a much better way of expressing your desire to join a potential employer.

Zero spelling mistakes, the ABCs of written expression

The first impression made by your CV should not be spoiled by a badly-written cover letter riddled with typos. Even if your recruiter isn't a "spelling sniper" or even a pupil of Bernard Pivot, sometimes a single wrong character is enough to throw the reader off your prose. At the second or third mistake, recruitment could turn into an error hunt, or worse, a game of basketball with a crumpled CV 🙁
If you had passed the first stages of the recruitment process without a hitch, the lack of consideration and basic correctness that emanates from your application would be perceived as unforgivable levity. You'll go from "Yes, maybe" to "Yes, but" or "No".
Indeed, holding a Master's degree and making spelling mistakes on elementary rules learned in CE2 is no longer an option, as revealed by the IPSOS study on employer expectations published in October 2021. The survey also ironizes the need to master English when one's mother tongue is not even French!

Need a express cover letter proofreading ?

If you're aware that, whatever your level of spelling, it's possible to make a fatal mistake, then you've understood the importance of proofreading. No one is infallible. Spouses, friends and even colleagues can help. They certainly don't offer the guarantee of a professional proofreading service. Having your cover letter proofread by CVsansfaute, for example, can be an excellent investment!
