Job Search Letters
To be successful in your job search, you may need different types of correspondence, depending on the application requirements. Just like your resume, these letters need to be targeted to specific positions and addressed directly to individuals: generic and "Dear Sir/Madam" letters are not effective.
The three types of job search letters I provide are:
- Formal Job Search Letters accompany your resume and are written for specific jobs to which you are applying. In order to create formal letters, I need a copy of the job announcement, so I can show how you meet the company's requirements, make sure your letter is addressed to the correct person, and incorporate important keywords, so you receive a high ATS ranking. The design of formal letters is matched to your resume to ensure consistent branding.
- eLetters are used when submitting applications online or sending your resume by email. eLetters are similar to formal documents in content, keywords, and customization to specific jobs, but are shorter and less formal. I convey your value to the company in a concise manner and send you a plain text version that can easily be pasted into an email or uploaded with an application.
- Recruiter or Networking Letters are used when sending resumes to recruiters, people you have met or been referred to while networking, or companies you are interested in, whether or not they have open positions. These letters are similar to formal job search letters, except the purpose is to build relationships and inquire about opportunities, present or future.
