Let’s face it—applying for jobs is up there with doing your taxes and standing in line to renew your passport.

Trying to inject a healthy dose of personality into a cover letter while conforming to a rigid job spec isn’t the most exciting way to spend an evening. And navigating a sea of blank text boxes asking you things like “Tell us about yourself” isn’t much better.
