At last! The truth about Résumés and Cover Letters"
Stop wasting time, money and effort with résumés and
cover letters!
Dear Friend,
If you'd like to eliminate 99% of the competition you face in
your job search, position yourself in front of the right person to
discuss what you offer and get an interview faster and easier than the
traditional résumé and cover letter route, then this might be the
most important letter you'll ever read.

further, please click
the arrow on the audio link at the end of this sentence to hear a 90 second introduction from your
host, Al Borowski.
Still not convinced? Listen to the following audio
segment where Al explains five reasons why so many people don't get results from résumés and cover letters.
Résumés and Cover Letters don't work!
You already know that.
You've
already spent weeks, months, maybe years, doing the networking, scouring the newspapers, filling out online applications and
calling endless human resource departments, all to no avail.
Are you finally tired and frustrated because you invest all that time and effort to create and send out
résumés and cover letters,
and you receive little satisfaction?
Are you ready to crawl out of the
rut?
Résumés
and cover letters don't work!
Let me give you five reasons
why they don't work.
1.
Picture this. Every day, the Post Office delivers tractor-trailer loads of
résumés and
cover letters to the docks of
companies who may (or may not) have positions open.
Tractor trailer loads may be an exaggeration but I'm sure most of you know
companies receive hundred of résumés for each position they have open.
If you submit your résumé to on-line job search sites, imagine how many others are doing the same
thing. Picture your material
arriving in one of those tractor-trailers and sitting on the dock.
Think about that. Every single one of those
résumés is competition for you. Would you like to eliminate 99.99% of that competition?
2.
Most of those résumés and cover letters are
addressed to Human Resources.
As
you will discover in this program, HR is the last place you want to send your
information. Not the first, the last place.
3.
If your résumé does make its way to the human resources department, it will undergo a mechanical,
not a human process.
Human Resource departments now have software packages that scan your
résumé looking to see if certain words are or are not on that résumé. Human eyes may never see your
résumé.
When the software finds or does not find certain items on your résumé, it kicks it out and your resume joins the rest of the
résumés bound for destinations unknown.
Sending a résumé and cover letter to human resources is like condemning it to a life in the Black Hole. Do you want to avoid
the software syndrome?
4.
Sending a résumé and a cover letter insults the intelligence of the person receiving it. Do you know what a cover letter says? A
cover letter says, "Hey stupid, there's a
résumé under here."
Stop sending
résumés and cover letters. You have the intelligence, experience, and education to recognize a better way of approaching
a prospective employer. Or, if you are sick and tired of the
corporate rat race and want to start your own business as a consultant,
you need to know how to create a powerful Marketing letter to introduce your new
business to your clients.
5.
Studies and statistics show that less than 7% of all white-collar jobs come as a result of a
résumé and cover letter.
You already know the number one way of getting a new job – you're
already doing it. Networking is the best way to find a new job.
But, what you do after the networking to make the initial contact is the most important step you can take.
Don't blow it sending a
résumé and cover letter.
Don't blame the Human Resources
department.
HR people are terrific people
who are hopelessly over-worked, under-staffed, under-appreciated and underpaid.
In many instances, they are the glue that holds a company together and in other
instances, the bearers of bad tidings when employees must be let go.
Recruiting, screening and
interviewing are only a few of many important responsibilities of HR
professionals. They also oversee compensation and benefits administration, EEOC
compliance, governmental regulations, legal compliance and employee/employer
issues. That's a lot for one department and sometimes one person to handle.
That's why many of them are now
unemployed, either by company decision or personal choice. Rather than cope with
corporate pressure, workload or apathy, many HR professionals have struck out on
their own offering their talents, experience and specialties as HR consultants.
Many companies are happy to outsource HR jobs to reduce headcount and overhead
while still maintaining the availability of HR services.
Are you getting some idea of
why I
recommend not sending your résumés and cover letters to HR?
Are you ready to try something different?
Are you willing to try something that has proven to be a more
effective way of opening doors to new jobs and new careers?
Business writing expert, author, and professional speaker, Al
Borowski, will share a different approach that will help you sell yourselves.
Résumés and cover letters tell.
Marketing Letters sell.
Don't just tell people what a good employee you will make. That's what everybody does.
You need to sell yourself to a prospective employer on how
that company will benefit from hiring you.
Now wait! Don't panic. Don't tell me that you don't know how to sell. I can prove to you that you can and will, if you follow the
strategies I will share with you about creating a powerful,
dynamic and effective marketing letter.
Let's look at what Marketing Letters can do for you.
1. Eliminate 99% of the competition you face for your position
2. Put you in front of the right person to discuss what you offer that company
3. Prevent your information from being deleted if you send it as
an e-mail attachment
4. Increases the chances you may never have to update your resume again. (Unless you want to)
5. Get you an
interview faster and easier than the traditional resume and cover letter route
A marketing letter can make all the difference, and
I will show you how to do it right.
Here's what
Get That Interview
Faster! includes:
A one hour
Digital Download or
e-book that explains a step-by-step approach
for creating a one-page marketing letter that sells you rather
than a cover letter and résumé that proves you are no different
than anyone else.
A four-page handout
that allows you to follow along with the audio
portion of the program and activities for you to complete that
will help you bring out the best of you on paper.
Personal consultation with writing expert, Al Borowski on
your first draft.
In this system, you will learn:
A three-step formula that separates you from the competition
How to create an Opening to your Marketing Letter guaranteed to
attract the reader's attention and keep that decision maker
reading (HINT: Most people start
their Marketing Letters or Cover Letters talking about themselves. Wrong
approach!)
The best way to
present the best of you
Five strategies that help you write compelling reasons why that
company needs you
Seven writing tips that help you create a powerful, positive image
of who you are and why that company can't do without you
Let me be perfectly clear!
A good Marketing Letter is not going to get you a new job. A
good Marketing Letter focuses on getting you an interview with the correct
decision maker, who knows, understands and appreciates your talents,
experience and skills.
Notice what I said - an interview with a decision maker -
not a Personnel recruiter or a Human Resources person. Your new position depends
on your interviewing skills. A Marketing Letter increases the chances that you
will get that interview by targeting the right person, and that's not someone in
Human Resources.
Hey, even if you have sent your
résumé and cover letter to HR, you can still send a Marketing Letter to
the correct decision maker in that company.
I will show you how to put that Marketing Letter together
and how to target that correct decision maker.
