A cover letter is used anytime a resume is mailed or emailed. Among other things, it formally introduces the resume and asks for the interview. If you are applying for a job where you will have no contact with the public, you may not need a cover letter. However, if you will ever speak with the public in person, online, or on the phone, a cover letter is a must. It tells the prospective employer that you know how to present yourself properly in a business situation. I'll also advise you on how to customize your cover letters. $35

The final line of your resume will say, "References available upon request." But, there are times during the job search when volunteering your references can significantly improve your chances of receiving a job offer. Along with advising you on whom to select for your references, I advise you on how to prepare those people for calls from prospective employers. In addition, I’ll tell you when to present your references for maximum impact. $25

Have you ever walked out of an interview and said to yourself, "I really want that job." A well-written thank you letter serves several important functions that can enhance your likelihood of receiving a job offer. The sample letter I provide gives you a smooth, professional opening. Then it gives you some choices on things you can mention that will make you stand out among those who were interviewed. If the hiring manager is on the fence between you and another candidate, the thank you letter will almost certainly tipped the scales in your favor. $20

There is more than one formatting option for a salary history. Your individual circumstances will tell me which will work best for you. If you ignore a request for a salary history you tell the prospective employer that you either have something to hide or you are not attentive to detail. Either way, you won’t get the interview. Don’t eliminate yourself from consideration because you assume to know how your salary history will be interpreted. $20
