Testimonials

An extremely valuable experience.  I now have a CV and cover letters which I am confident will make an impact.  However, over and above that the process has enabled me to identify the valuable 'transferable skills' that I have picked up along the way which could make me attractive to a wider range of employers than I would previously have considered." Paul Durral, Kent, UK.

So easy, once you showed me how!  John Burchel, Cambs, UK

Thank you so much.  After a complete lack of interest I had an interview within a week of receiving the new CV - & now have a new job & career path.  Thanks again.  Stephen Meltip, Glos, UK>

I was just a little cynical about all this, but it worked!  I had sent numerous CVs with no response at all, now I have had several telephone calls in just a couple of days.  Terrance Stevens, Manchester, UK

So much for the “professional” advice I paid for before – that did not work but this did!  Thanks again. Vanessa Downs, Canterbury, UK.

Thanks for the super service; I am already getting ‘phone calls. Thomas Etherngton, Penn. USA.

Wow!  Even I would give myself a job!  I did not realise how good I was!  John Beale, NY, USA

What a difference, thank you so much.  Malcolm Royce, Belfast, Ir.

Thanks again, it really did make a difference.  I have already received a couple of phone calls and feel much more confident about the future.  Marsha Hartington, Newcastle, UK.

Further to our telephone conversation I really must write and thank you for all your help.  I was becoming more than a little discouraged at the total lack of response or interest – now the ‘phone has started to ring again.  Thanks, once more.  Anthony Wilde, Watford, UK.

Cover Letter Length

Cover Letter length should be no more than one page.

E-mail letters should be sufficiently short to ensure that they may be read without scrolling.

Remember that the purpose of your cover letter is simple (even if it takes hours to compose!).

  • To tell the reader why you are writing.
  • To inform the reader why you are the best choice for the job.
  • To ask for the interview.

The purpose of the cover letter is both to confirm that you are a close match to the reader’s requirements, to ensure that he examines your CV if he has not already done so, and to confirm job specific capability in a way that is difficult in the main CV body.
