Why entrust us with the correction of your cover letter?

Spelling, a criterion for employability

Did you know?
The education and training sectors, as well as companies, are now 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 their career development.
The stakes are high for companies in terms of their image, both internally and in relation to their customers.
If the Le Robert or Voltaire certification is not for you, make sure you don't leave yourself open to criticism about your French.

The perfect covering letter, the key to securing a job interview

The cover letter is the essential complement to the curriculum vitae, especially in the case of an unsolicited application. It is the letter that gives a recruiter an initial impression of the candidate behind the curriculum vitae. This is all the more true as the format of CVs has tended to evolve in recent years in favour of a one-page Design CV, which is more concise than a traditional CV. Twitter isn't the only place for short CVs! Fortunately, a personalised covering letter is a 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 covering letter full of typos. Even if your recruiter isn't a "spelling sniper" or even a pupil of Bernard Pivot, it sometimes only takes one wrong character 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 thoughtlessness. You will go from "Yes, maybe" to "Yes, but" or "No".
In fact, holding a Master's degree and making spelling mistakes on basic rules learned in CE2 is no longer an option, as revealed by the IPSOS study on employers' expectations published in October 2021. The survey also makes fun of the fact that people who don't even speak French as their mother tongue are supposed to have a good command of English!
