“RESUMES TELL BUT COVER LETTERS SELL” plus a Job Search Q&A Session

Description

– 83% of hiring managers say that cover letters are important in their hiring decisions (ResumeLab).

– 68% of companies said a cover letter was important when considering whether or not to interview a candidate (Resume Genius).

– 72% of hiring managers expect applicants to submit a cover letter even if the job posting says it’s optional (ResumeLab).

For these reasons alone, you should be writing cover letters. Because an effective email cover letter does what a resume typically can never do—it enables you to CONTROL THE STORY in a very concise, easy-to-read way. And during this webinar I’ll show you how you can write highly customized cover letters in less than 15 minutes. When written properly, a cover letter immediately connects the dots between your key achievements and the most important requirements of the job. It keeps the reader focused on your unique competencies and what value you bring to that specific position. Additionally, cover letters are very effective at giving you access to the “hidden job market” by getting you interviews with companies that don’t have an advertised position. Quite simply, a cover letter can get you interviews that other job seekers aren’t getting.

Here are a few of the topics that I will cover during my presentation:

– How to write customized cover letters in less than 15 minutes

– How to decipher a job description to identify the most pertinent job requirements

– How a cover letter should be constructed

– How a great cover letter can get you access to the “hidden job market”

– How an effective cover letter can separate you from 100-200 other job applicants for each job

– Effective email cover letter examples

The presentation will be followed by a 30-minute Q&A session on any job search topics.

This live webinar will get recorded, so if you cannot attend the live event, you can always view the recording at a future date as long as you register or purchase the recording at a future date.
