FAQ

Questions about CNA applications

Do CNA jobs need a cover letter?

Not always. If the application asks for a note or message, send a short targeted version instead of a long formal letter.

How long should the message be?

For most hourly, local, and part-time jobs, three to six sentences is enough if the message is specific.

Should I repeat my resume?

No. Use the message to connect your strongest resume details to the job post and explain why you are applying.
