Cover Letter and Resume Working Together
Have you been trying to write the perfect cover letter? Are you lacking the objectivity, power words and statements that will demand you get an interview?
Many people believe because they are highly successful they should be able to write their own marketing documents. Don’t get frustrated trying to write an exceptional one, have someone experienced write yours. It is tough, because you are not an objective third party or not experienced creating letters. You don’t do this everyday, we do.
We position you to best meet the needs of today’s employers. A powerful cover letter can be the deciding factor for whether you get an interview or not. You should think of this document as an advertisement of your strongest skills. This will represent you when you are not available. Our letters send a message to the reader’s brain similar to, …
“we need to call this candidate, they sound interesting, qualified and will help this company save money and time.”
Even when cover letters are not mentioned in ads, employers do expect to receive them. Companies value excellent written and verbal communication skills. Careless writing presents a poor impression of your abilities and can damage opportunities for interviews.
Our cover letters complement the resume, as the opening sentence is unique and GRABS the reader’s attention. Employers skim hundreds of cover letters. Trust me, I have many years of experience in staff recruitment. If the introduction is BORING, the document goes to the “NO” pile. Let your personality and positive attitude shine through… and show passion for your career and industry.
There are different types of cover letters to complement your resume and help with your job search. These include: broadcast letter, letter to recruiters, networking letter, letter responding to a classified advertisement, specific company target, and one when sending your resume via email. Each letter has a unique function, therefore it is necessary to develop the letter to serve the purpose… ultimately to get the resume read and secure an interview.
