Frequently asked questions

How do I prove communication skills in a cover letter?

The cover letter itself is proof. Write clearly, concisely, and structured. Then give one specific example of communication driving results.

Should I mention public speaking experience?

If relevant to the role, yes. Conference talks, team presentations, or client meetings all count. Quantify: "Presented to 500+ at industry conference."
