Job Cover Letters -You May Be Shocked When You Learn This Secret!
54The Resume is King or is it?
As long as you have the perfect resume, you're golden right? The truth is, it is not the resume that will land you the job interview and ultimately the job but the techniques used to craft the resume cover letter that does the trick.Most people just whip something up to attach to the cover of the resume and just don't understand what a huge mistake they have just made!
What is The REAL Purpose of Job Cover Letters?
Job Cover Letters are actually the "Sales" letter, the attention grabber, the "hey this job candidate looks worth taking a closer look at", which when done the way 99% of the job seekers never do will send you to the head of the interview not the bottom of the waste basket! What most people don't understand is that the resume itself is NOT the first impression you make but in fact it is the cover letter that has oh so little time to to make the impact you need to make, maybe even less than 5 seconds. Hiring managers are busy people and have a lot of resumes to go through!
What Are Your Options When it Comes to Job Cover Letters?
You basically have two options when it comes to creating a great cover letter. One, you can just wing it and do it yourself, hoping that you get it right , figure out the NEW techniques that are Tripling the number of Job Interviews one receives. Or two, you can just hire a "professional" who you pray really does know what they are doing, (sadly most of them do not) and pay dearly for the privilege, ask me what my rates are out here in the real world!. Either way you go you still need some kind of professional guidance to help you get the job done right.
What Will it Cost You if You Get it Wrong?
An amazing, attention grabbing cover letter is a thing to behold but not what most people think it needs to contain. Even those so called experts who work in my industry have no clue what it takes to stand out from the crowd but certainly will charge you for the privilege to make you think they do! Job Cover Letters don't need to be time consuming or hard to do if done in the right way. But just so you know what is at stake here, go ahead and get that calculator out and figure out what it will cost you if you DON'T get the job right away! After One week, after two, after one month, what is the number staring back at you? The average job search now takes 9 months and that number may be going up! It is oh so important to get the job done right the first time don't you think? If you only make $450 a week, a nine month job search will cost you - $16,200, yikes!
