Straightforward, crisply written, and targeted to your audience. Prices start at $75 per letter for any of the following:
Executive Recruiter Letters
Designed to meet the requirements of both retainer and contingency firms.
Ad Responses
These can range from answering Internet or published help wanted ads to essays in response to posted positions. Business-like but creative, they are designed to differentiate you from other applicants for a position.
Direct-to-Company Letters
Used in both mass mailings and in tightly focused letters to principals or hiring managers at specific companies of interest.
Broadcast Letters
Broadcast letters, which may be 2-3 pages in length, are carefully constructed combinations of your resume and letter. Created to showcase your primary strengths, experience, and ways in which you can be of help, they are aimed at specific company executives, and, ideally, are followed up with a phone call. Effective tools for getting around the "secretarial screen."
Web Portfolios
Very highly recommended for the senior executive or manager who wishes to stand out from the competition. The newest and hottest wrinkle in executive campaigning, custom-written web portfolios typically include a home page, resume, and 5 – 7 supporting pages that illustrate and substantiate your experience. Prices start at $950 for a five-page package (including the resume) and do not include costs associated with posting on the Internet. Email us or call for more details at 614-895-9989.
Electronic Resume Conversion
ASCII versions (also known as text versions) are ideal for posting your resume on the Internet or for pasting it into emails when requested or advisable. Conversions are a flat $50 regardless of the number of pages.
Specialty Letters
These might include Informational Interview Letters, Follow-up Letters, or Thank-you Letters. Call for prices.
Job Strategies and Success Tactics
The great majority of our clients don't need this option, but if you are concerned about areas such as how to handle being fired, how to interview or negotiate well, or how best to market yourself, let us know. Drawing on over 20 years of one-on-one career coaching with senior executives and managers, we provide counsel on all major components of a job campaign. We charge a flat "brainstorming" rate of $150/hour, which is eligible for the standard 10% discount when bundled with other services such as resume writing. Please call or write us for more details on how we do this.
