Chapter 1: Are you an effective writer who can persuade others to take actions that benefit you? Can you write letters that will have an important impact on your career? Do you regularly write letters that command the attention of employers who call you for interviews? Do you routinely send thank you letters to individuals who assisted you or invited you to interviews? Are you a thoughtful person who makes a habit of communicating your personal and professional values to others in writing? Do you mention benefits to others rather than benefits to yourself? Do you know how to use e-mail and faxes to best communicate your qualifications to employers? If you answer "no" or "maybe" to any of these questions, then this book is for you.

This book is chock-full of useful, creative and functional letters to use in one's job search. Not everyone needs or can honestly create a formal resume. Some folks don't have the work experience, some have been out of the job market for a while, some just want information to make a better decision about a potential job category. When a resume isn't warranted, needed or realistic, this book will help you compose the exact letter that you need to find a job, get information about specific type of work or get your foot in the door for the opportunity you need to make your first great impression.

This review is from: 201 Dynamite Job Search Letters (4th Edition) (Paperback)

I have recently checked out many job search related books. This one is by far the best I have seen on search letters. Why is it so goood you ask? Because it has so many different examples that are also well written.

This book does not just have examples of the traditinal cover letter, but also examples of letters to request information, letters that can help you lay the "essential groundwork" for requesting references, letters that you can use to contact someone "cold turkey" to develop job leads (which I found to be the most helpful), and many more.

The letters in the book also describe people with many different qualifications and in many different situations.

I reccomend this book to everyone, but especially people who are new to the job market and may not know the different avenues to be had for gaining information to help their job search.
