On May 31st, the Nordic Youth Platform hosted another highly relevant and practical Career
Seminar, this time focusing on a topic that every job seeker faces at some point:

“How do you write a CV and cover letter that actually gets noticed?”

Led by Ferdi Gumuskaya, an HR Analytics Senior Specialist with years of experience in
recruitment and screening, this online seminar offered participants the tools and insider tips to
confidently approach the job application process.

📝 What We Covered

Ferdi walked us through what makes an application truly stand out—from the perspective of the
professionals reading them. Some of the key takeaways included:

How to write a powerful cover letter that doesn’t repeat your CV, but rather tells your
story and showcases your motivation.
What HR professionals are actually looking for when they screen applications.
Common mistakes applicants make—and how to avoid them.

Many participants were surprised to learn how small changes in tone, structure, or language can
significantly improve the impact of a CV or cover letter. There was also a live Q&A and real CV
feedback, where attendees got to ask their burning questions directly to our speaker.
