Do I Need A Cover Letter? Duh?

This from USA Today -- what do employers say??

Yes 86%, no 14%!!

Think about it!!!! A letter is good psychology, even if you are just going to email your résumé. It's just as important as what you wear for the interview.

It is called courtesy! It is called making you look better than the lazy guy that didn't send a letter. It's just common sense!

  • When you put a gift under the tree, or present your spouse with anniversary gift, you accompany it with a thoughtful, signed card for the same reason -- it personalizes an otherwise impersonal offering!
Executive Writing Services has a cover letter form under DOCUMENTS on the home page at www.writearesume.biz that you can download, print out and fill it out, scan it back in-- and then email it to ews@juno.net. You will also find a form for the even more important interview followup letter, thanking the interviewer for his/her time, and briefly reviewing what was discussed -- to be sent as soon as possible after the interview. Employers seldom receive thank you letters, so this is an excellent chance, again, to outshine your competition for that job!!!

Even so, call us at 402.399.9853 to determine when your letter will be ready the next day----
