COVER LETTER SAMPLES

Do you need help writing a cover letter? You're not alone, so many people have trouble writing them. The key is not to make it too long and drawn-out. Let it be inviting, I do prefer to have the same header on it as the resume. Be sure to address it to the person that will be reading it, not to (to whom it may concern) or it will probably be trashed. Take the extra time to find the hiring managers name. Call the company and explain that you are forwarding your resume and would like to properly address it to the right person, 99% of the time they will tell you.

Create a brief paragraph of yourself with some accomplishments along with what you can bring to their company. Then focus on 3 or 4 bullets on some strong achievements. And close with a non-desperate statement (looking forward to hearing from them).

Remember, a cover letter should be inviting and informative. The link below will provide you with some samples of cover letters and resumes.

Unemployment tops 20% in California

Unemployment tops 20% in eight California counties

The state's jobless rate of 12.5% in January was its worst on record and fifth-highest in the nation.
For many California areas, unemployment rates moved persistently higher in January, indicating that the national economic recovery hasn't yet translated into jobs for the Golden State.

New county-by-county figures released by the state Wednesday showed that in eight counties, more than 1 in 5 people were out of work. Moreover, revised numbers for last year show that fewer people were employed than was previously believed.

The state was one of five, along with Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina, that reached their highest unemployment rates since the government began keeping track in 1976, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. California's was 12.5% in January, up from 12.3% in December.

"The unemployment rate will be persistently at this high level for at least a few more months
 
This is just a small piece of some of our local news articles. As I attend our Job Fairs providing resume critiquing, the jobseekers share their stories with me and so many of them have been unemployed for over a year. Many of them are in desperate need of cover letters and resumes, I feel bad saying this, but some of them look like a text message.
 
With the unemployment rate the way it is, you honestly need to seek a resume writing service that can provide you with the quality to bring you to the top at any interview. Many resume writing services charge prices that are out of this world and you only receive just that... A resume through your email as an attachment... I have check other companies myself, and I am angry at these companies for taking advantage of the jobseeker. They have NO money, but they just don't care.
 
Resume Professionals provides you with customized professional resumes at very accomodating prices, along with a complete packet of your cover letter, 5 hard copies of your resume (interview ready), re-writable CD, Job Coaching material and business cards.
 
Complete a self-assessment process, prepare yourself for an active job search. You must be prepared in every way.
 
We will be happy to assist you with your job search, give us a call.

San Mateo Job Fair 2010 Interviewed Resume Professionals

http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=news/business&id=7321883

SAN MATEO, CA (KGO) -- There are some encouraging numbers about unemployment out. The Department of Labor reports job openings rose by about 7.5 percent earlier this year. That's an indication employers are slowly ramping up hiring, but many people are still looking for jobs.


A job seeker had an interview on Tuesday morning, went home, then got a call to come back for a second interview -- now that's encouraging.

The unemployment rate in San Francisco and San Mateo is 8.9 percent. That's down from what it was in December and Manpower says trends look strong.

"What it feels like is, we've passed the tipping point where companies are saying that we are definitely going to hire. It's just a matter of when as opposed to we're not going to hire at all," Bill Lewis from Manpower said.

At the ABC7-sponsored job fair in San Mateo, people brought resumes and hoped to meet representatives from a dozen companies.

Pacific Technology College retrains people who want to make a change. They see growth in medical and green technology.

"Entry level is pharmacy technicians, medical assistants at the present time. And in our green technology we are focusing on renewable energy," Saeed Foudeh from Pacific Technology College said.

Some have to make the difficult decision of a career change. This is Sarah Hadley-O'Neill's fourth job fair in two years.

"There are a lot of people like me who are experienced, but are a liability to a company that wants to hire them at entry level," she said.

The longest line at the fair was for resume analysis. Experts say it may be the most important thing to do when looking for a job. You need to make a good first impression.

"We look at anywhere from 300 to 1,200 resumes for every position available. It has to be outstanding and it has to look eye catching and be presentable immediately," Janis Barat from Resumeprofessionals.org said.

A lot of these job hopefuls have retained positive attitudes.

Don Crawford has been out of work for four months after his bosses cut staff by 50 percent.

"Sometimes it's a blessing in disguise to lose your job," he said.

"One of the things being unemployed has offered me is to lose a bunch of weight," Darren Hickey from San Mateo said.

"It's a full-time job looking for a job," Kathy Caricato from the California Job Journal said.

The next job fair that ABC7 News is co-sponsoring will take place on Tuesday, April 6 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Emeryville.
