Including your recent relevant achievements in a cover letter is a no-brainer nowadays.

But how else can you differentiate yourself as the candidate of choice?

In this next video, I discuss “5 Elements of an Interview-Generating Cover Letter” so you can know what else to include alongside your achievements to increase the odds of getting your cover letter read to land an interview.

Now…this post isn’t to debate whether you need a cover letter or not.

The bottom line is that some hiring managers want them, and some don’t.

So have a good one ready to go if it’s needed for an application for a job you want.

No need to argue.

Just be prepared! (You know my motto….).

To ensure you are ready, go to CoverLetterENotes.com and grab my ebook that will show you how to write a proper cover letter and be prepared.

Job searching in Jan 2024 can make you feel unseen and unvalued.

The lack of replies from jobs you are perfectly qualified for, the countless mind-numbing online applications, and the ghosting….the damn ghosting.

It’s all painful and can make even an incredibly qualified, accomplished person question themselves … and their future.

But I’m here to tell you…

You are more than your job.

You have opportunity before you.

Your situation will turn around.

But it will start with you…and your mindset.

In this next video, I give you three ways I turned my mindset around when I was laid off in 2009…and tactics I still use to this day when business isn’t going my way.

And in 15 years, business hasn’t always been smooth and easy.

I even used these tactics when I sold recruiting services—believe me, there were days I didn’t think I would make my numbers and would lose my job.

These tactics helped me. Often

I use any or all of these tactics STILL, in some capacity…every day.

So, I’m sharing them with you.

Use at least one of them and report back to me … here in the comments or in DMs, or email me at [email protected]

Let’s do this together.

You can do this.

And I have a bonus 4th way… I’ll give it away right here: self-care.

Take care of yourself proactively.

One way to do that is to attend my next resume webinar and ensure you are prepared for whatever comes your way.

What Kind Of Leaders Are Getting Hired In 2024?

Chaos. Churn. Profit-saving.

From my perspective, this is what the economic climate was like in 2023.
