-Writing of a motivation letter (response to a job offer or spontaneous application).

Help with writing an effective and operational CV and cover letterHello, my name is Audrey and I propose to help you in preparing the most operational and efficient cover letter and / or CV possible for you!
Are you facing the blank page syndrome, are you hesitating about the wording, don't know how to order your remarks?
You ask yourself the eternal questions: how to sell myself in the fairest and most efficient way possible? Do you want to get out of the box, be original, bring out your personality, to distinguish yourself from the recruiter, but do you worry about not being conventional enough?
Have you written hundreds of cover letters and resumes, but you're not getting the responses you're hoping for?
Are you having trouble organizing your CV because you have too much or not enough experience to highlight? Your experiences do not correspond to the position for which you are applying, because you are retraining and you do not know how to highlight your past experiences?
I help you answer all these questions! I am a master's student in international relations and my last five years have been marked by numerous interviews and the sending of multiple applications in order to obtain a job, an internship, a new opportunity, a master's degree, etc.
Thanks to my CV and my cover letter, I managed to enter one of the most selective training courses in France in my field. I have also obtained internships or been called back by very large French companies and ministries (in particular the embassies with which I have accumulated 3 internships with my CV and a solid cover letter as my only ally).
On the strength of these experiences and the expectations of recruiters, I have helped many friends by correcting their cover letter, their CV and by advising them. All of different profiles with heterogeneous files they achieved their goal. In reality, what counts is not so much what is in the letter or in the CV as in the way of presenting the elements.
So why won't I help you in turn?
With pleasure!
