Cover Letters: Do I need A Cover Letter or Followup Letter? (404-580-1501)

Cover letters and follow-up letters can be extremely important in job searches, especially in this age of resumes without specific objectives and scores of candidates for each job opening. Do you need a cover letter or follow-up letter? Probably yes!

Cover letters personally outlining and pre-emptively portraying resume specifics, and follow-up letters reminding and enforcing the interviewer about you, can determine whether or not a job offer comes your way OR NOT. Each also presents you in a professional and detail-oriented light. They also demonstrate a strong desire for the job.

You need every edge possible in a competitive job market. Use them. Hire a good writer that know exactly what adjectives and words to employ, and how to arrange them in an informative and persuasive manner that zeros-in on your ability to fill the position (in both cases).

Hire a letter writer that can write as you talk, but perhaps in a crisp way. Make sure he or she is able to present, inform, persuade, call-to action, and thank all in one letter. The cover letter should show what you can contribute and what qualifications you possess for it. 

The follow-up letter should focus on connecting with the interviewer again, and filling-in any holes that you absolutely know they noticed, while focusing on strengths he or she admired. get the picture?

Getting What You Want: Letters That Convert/Get Results - Jimmy Hall

Everyone needs to write letters upon occasion, or have letters written for themselves to get what they want or to convert people or businesses or organizations into doing what they specifically desire. Letters should move and motivate readers to action. (My writing service/Atlanta  helps people with this regularly.) But, how?

Letters Should Accomplish Four Things

The idea is that a business letter or personal letter should do four very important things: 1. Establish a respectful or serious line of communications. 2. Inform the right reader of the situation at hand. 3. Explain what you or your organization want to be done or changed. 4. Logically motivate the reader to convert to your cause and establish the change you require.

Letters Should Present Clear Objectives

Too many times the writer or the client of the letter writer does not have a clear idea of what the purpose of the letter even is! Obviously, the situation should be studied to begin with, and what is wanted should be known ahead of time. Simply "venting" generally does NOTHING to help your cause. Understand? The letter needs a clear objective.

Letters Need Time Frames

In addition, an open-ended letter without a specific time frame, at least in passing, might very well be placed in file 13 (the trash) of the reader. Your letter must firmly but nicely show that you mean business, state what you need, and provide a time frame for it being completed.

Letter/Communication Components

Without the above communication components, you simply will not get what you want or convert the reader to the results desired. People must be called or persuaded to take action. We are often procrastinating creatures. It is only human.
