Question. How much do you think employers spend on advertising
vacancies? Answer. It can be a least a thousand dollars.
Yet a large percentage of applicants ignore the employer’s
needs and reword a standardised cover letter from a previous
application that is roughly related to the stated criteria
and is often more about the job seeker’s needs.
Do you think the employer is going to be impressed with
your job application? No way, it will go into the bin.
FACT.
Job application letters need a powerful
opening sentence to grab the employers attention.
If
they don't, they get binned again.
We can write you an job
application letter that grabs the reader's attention and
demonstrates how you can fill the employers
needs.
Employers won't read between the lines. If the information
they want is not up front, they won't take the time to
read it.
lf there are a lot of criteria, we
can write an application letter that makes it
easier for the
employer to evaluate.
See how to write a winning job application
letter. There are 5 sections designed to ensure you know how to write
the perfect letter that will get you a job interview providing you have the
skills. See

Writing

Every
company is as unique as you are.
They will
have differing needs, organisational culture and company
profile, so how can you rate them all the same?
Cold calling is a systematic approach to job search aimed
at getting jobs before they are advertised. Larger employers
get hundreds of applications a week. In most cases, applications
go into the bin. Standard letters received at this
office clearly indicate that the job seeker has no idea
of the company’s profile.
As a result, employers are
tired of reading unsolicited applications. This is a waste
of possible job opportunities and a waste of money.
If you use the internet to do this you are wasting your
time. This is called "SPAM". Unsolicited
E-mails are illegal.
Don’t
be an unemployment statistic.
Do your homework and make a personal
approach.
So
can we write a cold calling letter for you?
No,
it is impossible to write a “one
fits all” letter.
Nevertheless, there are some phrases that
can be used consistently. You need to know how to write
a letter to suit each situation.
There
is another way
that is less time consuming and will assist you
to write your own personalised letters using templates.
Make
no mistake, you still have to do the research, however
there is brilliant software to produce excellent content and
templates to make application writing a breeze.
I concur with the author of this software when
he states:- "Everywhere you turn you'll
find the same FLAT cover letters that have been putting
employers and hiring managers to zzzzleep since the
beginning of time!"
