Dear Ms. Goodjob:
I am writing to you because you are looking for a better job, maybe because you are in a dead-end job or in imminent danger of being downsized, laid off, or fired. Perhaps you have grown beyond your current position but there is no opportunity for growth where you are currently working. Or maybe you are not just underemployed - you have already become unemployed. Possibly you are happy where you are, but have no idea where you want to be in 5 years, 10 years, or even 2 years. Maybe it has been a while since you have looked for a job and don't know how much the job search and recruitment game has changed and you need practical employment tips. Whatever the case, I am confident that I can help you. I'm applying for the job of giving you career advice, helping you with your career and getting you the dream job you deserve. I'm a book entitled Get A Job! Your Guide to Making Successful Career Moves. I help people find better jobs, write great resumes (or CVs) and cover letters, and help people research companies and perform better in job interviews. Since even before I was published, I've helped many job seekers get the dream jobs they've been looking for, make more money, move forward in their careers, and strategize on how they can position themselves for promotions, lateral moves, international roles, and new jobs in exciting companies. I've included a number of recommendations and testimonials on this website below my resume. I've even helped people secure 40% or more increases in salary! Face it, it doesn't matter what color your parachute is if it doesn't open! Are you worried that a resume for dummies will only lead to a job for a complete idiot? You don't need resume magic - you need real-world advice that really works, so you can too! Why settle for a damn good resume when you need a great resume? You don't need 201 resumes - you just need the few that work for you and that are highly targeted to the dream job you are searching for. I don't mean to be harsh - bluntly forward, yes, but harsh? No. This is something that I feel strongly about and it's SO important! It boils down to a choice - are you going to drift along your career like a jellyfish in the ocean, hoping you'll end up someplace nice, and hoping that your boss will "give" you a raise? Or are you going to be proactive and take charge of your career path, and both start earning what you are worth and make yourself worth more and more (and earn more and more) each year? Are you going to relish going to work each day, knowing that you're providing more and more for your family, working towards your future, saving & investing for retirement, and so on, or are you going to keep complaining about how hard it is, dreading Mondays, and wondering how you're going to keep living paycheck to paycheck? I am confident that I would be an excellent fit for your job search needs. In order to help you make your decision as easily as possible, I've taken the time to outline your requirements as I understand them, and have addressed each of them with how I can help you.
My resume is below for your review. I look forward to helping you with your job search and your career. Sincerely, Get A Job! Your Guide to Making Successful Career Moves By David B. Wright P.S.
