Once you have an account you’ll gain access to dozens of templates. You can modify and extend, adding a Group for each employment experience, for instance. CWE will structure your personal branding statements and value proposition – anywhere you see {{CURLY BRACES}} you’ll know you need to do a one-time edit. Content in [[BRACKETS]] will prompt you, on the fly, to add details – like the name of a company or a particular aspect of a conversation that resonated with you.

If you are part of an institution or job training/upskilling organization, you can develop your own templates and publish to hundreds or thousands of your users. You’ll even get metrics on usage, so you can gauge impact and ROI.

You’ll get dozens of cover letter paragraphs, cold-email starters, subject lines – all customizable by you to speed your communication and writing across LinkedIn, Gmail, Microsoft Word and other platforms.
