Cover Letters
Resumes without cover letters are not taken seriously. Studies show that 80% of employers prefer to receive a cover letter with the resume, and 30% will actually toss resumes sent without one. A cover letter is not just "wrapping" for your resume. It's an important career document that may determine whether your resume is read at all.
Modern cover letters are brief eNotes that can be emailed electronically. They need to include all of the impact of the traditional cover letter -- but in half the words. We can write letters specifically for:
• Unadvertised Opportunities (Cold Call or Broadcast Cover Letters) • Advertised Positions |
• Custom Cover Letters (to target that special opportunity) |
• Recruiters • Networking |
Interview Follow-Up/Thank You Letters
Always send a thank you letter within three days of the interview. Sending a thank you letter is a small, but essential courtesy. It's also a marketing document, just like the resume and cover letter. A good thank you letter does more than just thank the person for the interview. It also reminds them of who you are and what you can do for their company and reiterates your interest in the position.
We can create a model thank you letter that you can customize for the company. Or you can call and ask us to create the letter from scratch.
