Another Headache

"Do I include my salary history? Should I say why I left my last job? How do I send it by e-mail?"

Worst of all, you only get one chance to make a first impression with your resume and cover letter. If you mess up, you're finished.

Meanwhile, that job you really wanted -- the one with the salary, benefits and working conditions you've been daydreaming about -- just went to someone less qualified than you, someone who probably won't do half as well as you would have. All because THEIR resume and cover letter were just a tiny bit better than yours.

What a waste! Do someting about it...

Letter Writing Help

You know the feeling don't you, when you just don't get called forward to interview for those high-paying jobs you really want.

Well I'm sorry to be so blunt but it's most probably because your cover letter is pathetic - in fact, worse than that it's probably just downright useless and harming any last chance you had of getting the job you really deserve.

I should know: as a Headhunter and Career Coach for over 25 years, I've seen some great opportunities ruined by half-assed covering letters. If you can't do better than that you can't expect to snag the job of your dreams.

The Recruitment Consultant or Hiring Manager is too busy to bother with some crappy cover letter that doesn't grab the attention or give the information needed.

It's quite simple, because the cover letter is the first thing they look at and if it isn't interesting and convincing it goes straight in to the trash.

And if your cover letters are as pathetic, that is where they belong!!

But you can do something about it with a little help from me...
