Dynamite cover letters and other great job search letters - Ron Krannich

If you think resumes get jobs, think again. Resumes are only as good as the letter accompanying them. Preoccupied with writing good resumes and identifying job vacancies, most job seekers fail to properly introduce their resume to potential employers. They write letters, but their letters have little impact on employers. In fact, their letters may communicate the wrong message -- they are less than serious and enthusiastic about a job. Be forewarned: neglect your cover letter and you may quickly kill your resume! Dynamite Cover Letters shows how to produce powerful letters that lead to interviews and offers. Focusing on the key principles of effective communication, the authors examine the six most important letters every job seeker needs to write: cover, approach, thank-you, rejection, withdrawal, and acceptance. Dispelling numerous writing myths, the book includes several examples illustrating the writing principles as well as unique chapters on how to produce, distribute, and follow-up letters with maximum impact.
