I do experienced hire screenings. Have never read a cover letter. Don’t worry.

Try to avoid applying cold? I’m not sure the cover letter makes any real difference one way or the other whether cold or referral.

Experienced hire here. Best to have someone you know and can vouch for you submit a referral. They will upload your resume, and no cover letter is needed (this is how I joined - strength of the referral is more important than a cover letter).

So how does one get a referral if they don’t know anyone at BCG.... asking for a friend 😅

Pro tip: spell check it better than you did this post.

Haha! Thanks!

No one at the firm will read it

Yea but don’t worry about it, as long as it’s not trash

funny

I’d start by checking the letter for typos yourself, a step you missed in this post

Thanks in advance!

Confused!
So I am working as a UI UX designer since Jan22. I started with a really good project (everything from the scratch) with research, knowing the user etc. The project went really well. It was my first project that I handled individually. I got another project it also went well. Then I was told to work directly with a client, it's been 2 months already we work late hours and also on weekend (asked by the client). It feels like my personal life is gone. Do you think I should change job?
