Pretty good book

Most useful are the "do's & don'ts" for job hunting correspondence. These along with other common sense suggestions which escape many of us can be found in this book. Having the samples in both book and diskette form is useful as it saves time. However, the samples themselves are pretty much what one can find by logging on to almost any website career site. Nothing special except the convenience of having them in one spot.

A MUST READ COVER LETTER BOOK WHICH TRUELY EXEMPLIFIES WELL WRITTEN COVER LETTERS. PLEASE CHECK THIS ONE OUT LAST, SO THAT ONE CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCE, FEEL THE DIFFERENCE AND TRUELY CONVINCED TO BUY THE DIFFERENCE. ONE WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED

Ten Rules for Writing 201 Killer Cover Letters

What do you talk about in your resume? ME ME ME ME. What do you talk about in your interview? ME ME ME ME. So Rule 5 of Podesta and Paxton's book (Podesta is an advertising copywriter and Paxton is a recruiter), "ELIM-ME-NATE" tells you to focus on the needs of your prospective employer in your cover letter. The 9 other top rules for writing "killer" cover letters are just as enlightening as well as humorous. I do tend to disagree with Rule 3: In Response To Your Ad...NOT! - Don't use standard openings. I've actually had HR professionals request such standard openings so that they can keep track of who is applying for which ad in which newspaper. But that is the real value of this book: it shows you how to write killer openings and closings for any situation. There is an index of letters listed by issue, with a corresponding chapter and letter number to refer to. What's more, you can get through this book in a hurry, and all of the sample letters are on diskette that is included. So if your cover letters "...Ain't Working," then "...Fix It" with one of 201 different approaches (Rule 10)

Sample letters for job searches.

Good letters for getting, keeping, refusing, and quitting jobs. It has its own PC diskette, so that it is not necessary to retype letters for personal use. I suspect that it's the only cover letter book on the market to come with a PC diskette.
