Cover Letter Magic: Ask for a job interview-and get it!
Amazing-Cover-Letters, Jimmy Sweeney

CALABASAS, CA -- Just how important is it to ask for the job interview clearly and directly in your cover letter? It's everything! So the question remains: how effectively are you asking? The following four ways will help you nail down many more job interviews:

1) Attract attention with a great headline using Bold Title Caps right below the greeting in your cover letter. Example: May We Meet In Person To Discuss This Position?

2) Focus on your qualifications in the beginning of your letter. Example: I'd love the opportunity to meet with you in person and discuss how I might help [company name].

3) Be clear about time in your final paragraph. Example: I'd like the opportunity to interview with you in the next two weeks.

4) Communicate enthusiasm at the end of your letter. Example: I'm excited about meeting you in person to discuss my qualifications.

Give up the "wait and hope" job search technique. Ask for the job interview clearly, directly and sincerely in your next cover letter instead. You will land quality meetings that bring results! Take charge of your future now by asking for what you want.

Start your cover letter now.
