Kearney 🐠, what do you like about your firm? I’m writing a cover letter for the Dubai office but I’m struggling not to make it generic!

Any advice / tips would be greatly appreciated!

We got the softest blanket ever in the Americas

Pretty dope blanket as our only WFH perk in 2020! Screw them stipends, who needs 💵

Helpful and talented colleagues across offices, global presence, good coverage of offerings within both functions and industries, strong challenger spirit.

Good luck with the application!

Thanks K1! 💯

OP - happy to talk of that helps

My suggestions
1. Write why you really are applying (don't try to pander to us), even if you said I just want to try it for 2-4 years, that's fine by us
2. Talk to folks if you can, know us
3. As some of my colleagues said, cover letter is useless if you are just writing it for the sake of it, a well written story always resonates
4. In reality we want to know you, why you want to work with us rather than some historical artifact that we already know

Hope this helps

Cheers

Is the cover letter required? If not skip it, hardly anyone reads them anyway

It is apparently, applications without a cover letter may not be considered,
