Cover Letters

At Career Development Resources, we will help you develop an aggressive cover letter that competitively exemplifies your valuable experience, personality, style, skills, and all-important accomplishments to accentuate your value and appeal. A professionally written cover letter makes a terrific first impression and substantially differentiates you from candidates who just don’t bother with this important tool. Depending on your career campaign, you might consider that differently worded letters are used to: apply to a posted or printed announcement; work with an executive recruiter; contact a company directly even if they haven’t announced a vacancy; or use a contact as a bridge to this new organization. You have only two opportunities to sell yourself into obtaining that all-important interview: your résumé and your cover letter. Our strategy is to design both for maximum effect.

Interview Coaching

WHEN EMPLOYERS CONTACT YOU,
YOUR PROFESSIONAL IMAGE
AND YOUR SKILL AT INTERVIEWING
WILL DETERMINE WHETHER YOU GET AN OFFER.

Everything that you do to get your interviews will be wasted if you don’t convert them into job offers. And yet, most people assume that there is little they can do to prepare for these critical meetings. Nothing could be further from the truth!
