MCKENZIE SCOTT'S SIX RULES FOR JOB SEARCH LETTERS AND EMAILS TO EMPLOYERS
DENVER, CO - May 16, 2003 /Send2Press Newswire/ -- Kyle Stone, VP Consulting Services
for McKenzie Scott, the nation's state-of-the-art supplier of technological and
personal team resources for job seekers at $75,000 and above, strongly advises
any job seeker to follow six basic rules in contacting employers directly.
"If you're lucky enough to get past the screener, you get only a few seconds to
make enough of an impression to make the reader want to go on. So follow these
rules," says Stone. "At McKenzie Scott, we follow them."
- Use a third-party opening whenever possible, even if the third party is not known to the recipient. A referral or "sponsor" always helps.
- In the opening paragraph, talk about the company and those challenges it faces where you might help. Don't talk about yourself.
- Quickly and briefly establish who you are and what you believe you can do for the employer.
- Describe your achievements only briefly, and as they relate to challenges the employer is facing. Use a high level of assumption about your ability to
contribute. Details can come later.
- Close with thanks and a request for action or promise of follow-up.
- Keep paragraphs and sentences short, and the letter/email fast moving.
Not every letter or email will result in an interview, Stone says, but following
these simple rules will greatly increase the odds in your favor.
