How do I apply?

Send us a cover letter that tells us why you think you’d be great for the role. Highlight how your past experience ties into the current position requirements. Cover letters should give us a taste of your personality; we really want to get to know you starting with the application process. Don’t be shy, tell us about yourself! What do you love doing and why you want to do it at Milyli? Include your resume as well and send both documents to [email protected].

*You’re thinking “I don’t really need a cover letter, do I?” Actually, each application is read by a member of our team and if it has a cover letter (it can be in the form of an email- we know, it’s 2017), the process will move much quicker. We highly recommend it!

Since a team member reads every application, this process does take a bit of time but we will always get back to you.  While you’re waiting, check out our website to take a peek inside our office and see some of the Familyli.

Thank you for your interest in Milyli!
