Cover Letter Tips

If you choose to write your cover letter yourself, follow these guidelines from "Cover Letter Dos and Don'ts," by Kate Lorenz, CareerBuilder.com

Do personalize your letter

Don't send a generic cover letter to many different companies

Do address the specific position advertised

Don't make the reader work too hard to see that you are right for the position

Don't end your letter passively 

Do write and edit your letter with great care


Get it Right - Letter Writing

When you find a good job prospect, you have only a few opportunities to make an outstanding impression. Of course the interview is where you have the most face-time to make it happen, but don't under estimate the importance of a "whet-their-appetite-for-more" cover letter that accompanies your resume AND the "wow-'em" post-interview follow-up note. 

Take advantage of these two communication opportunities to impress your audience! We will craft a powerful message to convey your:

  • Value to the organization
  • Interest in the position
  • Alignment with the job responsibilities
  • Exceptional written communication skills 

 Fees starting at $100/hour for consultation and results. Contact us.
