employment executive, sent me thousands-upon-thousands

Thank you!

Preface
One of the truly arduous tasks of running a successful job-hunting campaign is
consistently writing effective cover letters. For most people, this proves a difficult
andever-present challenge. Unlike a resume, where the job seeker can commit several hours to its perfection, cover letters must often be written “on the run,” be tailored to specific circumstances, and still have a highly positive impact on the
reader. For most people, this presents a difficult challenge. Unfortunately, in many
cases, a hurried, sloppily-prepared cover letter can lead to disastrousresults!
The cover letter is far too important to be left to chance or hurriedly written
at the last minute. Instead, the job seeker needs to be equipped ahead of time
with an arsenal of highly effective, professional cover letter models that, with
only minor modification, can be rapidly deployed as needed.
This book provides the job seeker with just such an arsenal! It contains 175
highlyeffective cover-letter samples that, with slight modification, can be rapidly
deployed by the job seeker throughout the job-hunting campaign. These letters
have been designed to meet a wide range of circumstances commonly faced by the
job seeker, equipping him or her with the ability to quickly respond with a wellwritten, professional document that creates a favorable impression and enhances
one’semployment candidacy.
Throughout the book, the reader is furnished with specific instructions for
preparation of each type of cover letter, followed by numerous letter examples to
assist in their preparation. Five different cover letter types are presented, including: (1) the employer broadcast letter, (2) the search firm broadcast letter, (3) the
advertising response letter, (4) the networking...
