    4-Why do you need so much information about me?
     

    This information is what recruiters require to be able to evaluate you as a potential hire. When you become a LatPro member, you only provide us with your your profile and resume information JUST ONCE. Every time after that, for the duration of your membership, you’ll simply enter your e-mail address and password. The rest of your information is recorded in the LatPro.com database. The only thing you’ll need to copy from your word processor and paste into the on-screen form is your customized cover letter. We don’t automatically save the cover letter for you, since you should create a new one to fit each job opportunity.
