Is a cover letter really necessary? Yes! And this webinar will help show you how to write a cover letter that effectively communicates your value in a clear, concise, and strategic way.
While they aren’t always required, a cover letter can be an extremely valuable tool. A well-crafted cover letter – one that is tailored to each specific job – can help set you apart, particularly in a competitive job market.
Cover letters provide job seekers with an opportunity to go beyond their resume, painting a clearer picture of how your skills, experiences, and accomplishments align with the needs and priorities of the hiring manager. A cover letter also provides the space to explain things that might not be obvious from your resume, like a career change or transition to a new field.
In this webinar, FlexJobs will show you to craft a cover letter that will strengthen your job application. You’ll learn how to showcase your enthusiasm for the role and company, highlight your relevant skills and abilities, and tell your compelling career story. Register today!

Beyond Overthinking: Decoding the FOMU Cycle
2026-04-08 12:00 - 13:00
You’ve got it all together on the outside. Successful. Intelligent. High-performing.

Inside, you’re replaying the meeting from three days ago. Rewriting the email for the fourth time. Bracing for the reply that means something went wrong.
This is FOMU (Fear of Messing Up). And it doesn’t just steal your hours before the mistake. It steals them after too.
We’ll cover:

Why thinking your way out of FOMU doesn’t work
The three phases of the FOMU Cycle: The Fear, The Mistake, The Recovery
Why it’s not a character flaw and how that changes how you address it
What’s possible when you interrupt the pattern

This is for you if you’re a high-achieving professional who’s exhausted behind the scenes by the gap between how capable you appear and how often you question yourself.
You’ve probably already tried therapy, coaching, or personal development that helped, but it hasn’t been enough.
You can’t fix something you don’t talk about and now it has a name.
