Introduction
Few things in life can be as satisfying as a stable job with good income and job security. Nonetheless, this dream continues to elude many people, their impressive credentials and professional experience notwithstanding. But did you know that opportunities for stable jobs actually do exist and are within your reach? If you desire success in your career, then it's time to start supporting the desire with action.
Let no one lie to you, jobs are not scarce. For instance, any employer would create an opportunity for a marketer who brings in a million dollars’ worth of business each month. What's more, the marketer will be asked to quote his preferred salary.
By changing how you package yourself, you too can cause employers to create positions that didn't previously exist in their organizations just to have you onboard.
The starting point for this self-packaging process is assembling a résumé and cover letter that asks prospective employers: Do you want this kind of results?
This is as opposed to what everyone else is asking: Do you want this kind of qualifications?
Making a distinction between yourself and the rest is that simple, and I will reveal to you, in just a moment, techniques on how to achieve that.
These are the same techniques that I use when writing résumé and cover letters for diplomats, senior UN personnel, heads of state corporations, chief executives of leading organizations across the globe, and for virtually any other cadre of job that you can imagine.
Through this simple to read guide, I am putting right in your hands the deep secrets of succeeding in the quest for your dream job. I am aware that I am as well giving out some of my trade secrets, but the joy of seeing you achieve your career destiny by far outweighs any amount of cash that I could make in a life time of holding onto the secrets.
Chapter 1: Getting off To a Great Start
Before delving deep into the details of writing job application documents, let us start with a few insights into the employment process so as to put the individual activities into their proper perspective. So, why do you need to write a résumé and cover letter in the first place? I presume it's because you want to market yourself to prospective employers. This could be in search of a first job, or in your quest for greener pastures. But have you ever paused to wonder why employers would want to hire someone like you?
