Resumes 



The purpose of a resume is to get a job interview.  Your goal at the interview is to get a job!
"The day of the ONE page resume for professionals is OVER "
A good resume rarely determines whether or not you will be hired…  A good resume does influence whether or not you will be called in for an interview.... and
a poor resume will ensure you receive NO CALLS.

You need to provide potential employers with a well-designed resume, one which communicates your qualifications for the position being offered i.e.… professional background, experience, education and skill set.  






Cover Letters


Your cover letter is an important component in marketing yourself to prospective employers and should always accompany your resume.
The cover letter serves as your personal introduction and it should be designed to work with and support your resume, targeting your accomplishments as well as your career goals.
Whether you write your own cover letter, or have us write one for you — it is essential to have a well-written cover letter accompany your resume
.  





Thank you letters


It is important to send a thank you letter to persons who have taken their time to interview you. Thanking the interviewer(s) for his/her time and remarking on one or two things you talked about. Comments on what you can provide that can immediately add value to the job being offered.
 
You should also send a thank you letter to any person or company that responds to your initial inquiry regarding employment with a return letter….Courtesy and professionalism are valued and always remembered!

 
The thank you letter affords a means of keeping you foremost in the employer’s thoughts when it comes down to choosing the candidate for his/her position.
