Is it worth it to pay resume writing firms to help you craft up a decent cover letter?

Resume writing firms are one option for creating a decent cover letter. If the cover letter lands you an interview, then it may be worth it. Other options include using your network to help you learn to build a decent cover letter, or getting a mentor to help you as well. Learning to build a decent cover letter is important, because it is likely that you will have to write a lot of them, and getting really good at this can become a competitive advantage in your job search. It is also important because as you get good at it, you can help others with their cover letters. Each cover letter should be customized to each job you are applying for. You use the cover letter to demonstrate your interest in the position, show how you fit the description and solve the hiring manager's problem, and demonstrate your superior communication skills - always a plus. Clear, crisp, succinct, direct communication in a cover letter can really help you out.  Make sure that what you are paying for meets your needs. Your goal should be to acquire the skill to do it yourself.
