Generate 33% More Job Interviews with this Powerful Letter By Anthony Ranieri ==========================================

The follow-up letter is a powerful tool often ignored by applicants during job search. Written effectively, it can add weight to your application, particularly when a short list for second or third interviews is being determined by recruiter. The follow-up letter has several uses:

* A method for continued dialogue between yourself and recruiter. * An opportunity to restate your skills and experience.

* Evidence that you have considered position seriously and wish to reaffirm your interest.

* It's a proactive document, providing a vehicle for selling yourself further.

* The ability to offer solutions to key issues and objectives discussed during interview.

The structure for your follow-up letter is similar to your covering letter with some minor variation as follows.

* Commence your letter with a thank you statement in appreciation of recruiter's time.

* Include references to key selection criteria discussed during interview in bullet-point form. This will confirm you have paid attention to recruiter's comments.

1. A strong sense of self and a healthy self-esteem are integral parts of your personality. The cornerstones of your foundation are integrity, common sense, willingness to try, and persistence. Skills and talents are recognized and utilized.

2. Self-improvement is not just a word, it is a lifestyle. You are a seeker of knowledge of all types. You absorb what you can from any type of experience. All senses are used to keep learning and growing. You think like a reporter asking those famous questions of who, what, when, why, where, and how. Spend some time to play like a child - just for pure pleasure of it. All aspects are needed for a well-balanced life.

3. You take responsibility and are accountable for your thoughts and deeds. You refrain from openly blaming others, even if they were cause of problem. Reliability, honesty, and trustworthiness are what other people come to expect of you; and rarely (if ever) are they disappointed. You take pride in who you are and what you do.
