IT Cover LetterTechnique #7 How to mathematically DOUBLE your job search odds!
There is a simple formula that will mathematically double your job search odds. Today I’m going to reveal the quickest and easiest way to mathematically DOUBLE your odds of landing any job. Drum roll please…
Two magic words: FOLLOW UP! Think about it. If you take the time to contact a company you’re interested in working for on TWO separate occasions, you are TWICE as likely to get noticed. This simple math equation escapes the vast majority of job-seekers who typically ‘throw in the towel’ after sending one application for each job listing. Don’t make this critical mistake when it’s so easy to follow up with each contact. Market yourself a second time — every time, by using a follow-up cover letter and resume. The average job-hunters fail to use any follow-up system for their job search. They are either too lazy, don’t understand how, or the idea has never occurred to them! Follow-Up Cover Letters Made Easy… As a rule of thumb, wait ten days to two weeks and if you have not been called for the interview, send the same person/company a follow-up cover letter along with your resume giving you a SECOND CHANCE at the interview and ultimately the position being offered. This is so simple and highly effective. FOLLOW-UP COVER LETTER TIP: The easiest way to create your follow-up IT cover letter is to add one short, opening paragraph to your original cover letter. That’s it! You are addressing the same person/company as you did a couple of weeks prior. However, by adding this one short paragraph to the beginning of your original cover letter you are now letting this person/company know that you are still interested and available for the position. Here’s an example:
Do you think by adding this type of paragraph to create your own follow-up cover letter you could increase your chances of getting noticed and interviewed the second time around? Definitely. If there were a ‘Job-Seekers Ten Commandments’ the words, “Thou Shalt Always Follow Up” would be at the top of the list. I want you to follow up EVERY job listing that interests you with a follow-up cover letter and resume. When you market yourself TWICE, you mathematically DOUBLE your job-search odds, effective immediately! Copyright (c) CareerJimmy All Rights Reserved
