Peeling back the layers, everything in one form or another is marketed in some way. Once you realize this, you can have fun with it and play with the rules a little, be different and to think outside the box. A quick note about the cover letter Just like we each have 168 hours a week to either use playing video games or to make billions of dollars, we each have a blank, A4 sized piece of paper to work with. What you fill it with is up to you, and what you fill it with will determine whether you get the interview or not. I want to highlight that we all begin at the same starting point where we end up is determined by how best we use the resources and time given us, how we market ourselves in the best way possible and with the information you‟re about to devour, will give you that competitive edge over your competition. So if prior to this your cover letters were a little weak and limp that‟s all about to change today. You‟re going to write cover letters that command attention and respect and will ultimately get you the jobs you‟ve always been missing out on, that is until now. I hope you find this to be an entertaining journey, now let‟s get started. Introduction It‟s true what they say, that most people spend so much time actually doing their job, bettering themselves, advancing and progressing, rising through the corporate ranks than to worry about how to best market themselves. In fact, that‟s the last thing on your mind. You were too busy working it never crossed your mind what you would do if it all disappeared. While you worked so hard for today you barely spared a thought for tomorrow until you find yourself jobless, the reality hits you like a ton of bricks and you‟re left re-evaluating your life and where to go to from here. It can be frightening to find yourself in the position where you have to start over again from scratch and it‟s not until this point that you truly realize that no job is safe, no matter how long you‟ve worked there, how much of your life you sacrificed for the company at your family‟s expense or how loyal you were. It wasn‟t personal, just business. You need to realize that your job was a part of your life but it wasn‟t what defined you. It‟s what you did, not who you were. It‟s difficult to separate the two when it first happens but it‟s important to know the difference. You can find another job, you will work again and you‟ll develop new skills or further grow your current skill set. When tragic things happen in life we can choose how to react to them. It can be a defining event for our own personal growth and help to bring out our best qualities, more than any job could ever do. So leave the fear of the unknown behind and embrace the mystery of what‟s to come next. Then there are those of you who just want a change of scenery, you want the new job, the new challenge to further stretch your career muscles, you‟re going to gain so much from this.
