Cover Letters That Will Get You the Job You Want

I read through it and it is very well done. The writing is lively and you had alot of creative tips. It certainly was engaging for the subject matter. I particularly like your use of real-world examples and the 100 sample cover letters! The only thing I didn't like about the book was the cover, which seemed a bit cheezy. Barbara Mattleman

As a professional resume writer and career consultant, I am always looking for books with innovative strategies for developing materials, and this is among the best. Stan not only describes HOW to write a winning cover letter (capture attention, talk to your audience, etc.), but his book is chock full of examples for professionals in just about every field. "Cover Letters that Will Get You the Job You Want" has revolutionized the way I write cover letters, and the result has been a 100% increase in my referral business. There are only a few cover letter books I recommend whole heartedly. This is at the top of the list. -- Anne Follis, Certified Professional Resume Writer, CareerPro, Peoria, Illinois

Thorough. Comprehensive. Upbeat. Strong examples. Will definitely use with our students. Asst. Director, Undergraduate Career Services, Pace UniversityThis is the most comprehensive and current publication on cover letters, and the "art" of writing available. Director of Career Services, University of AlaskaVery informative and highly readable. Chapters 1- 10 are must reading for any MBA student. The book will be particularly helpful to our international students. Asst. Director of Career Services, William E. Simon Graduate School of Business, University of Rochester.I was glad to see the very large number of sample letters. That's important because students often tend to follow too closely examples we show them and not use their own creativity in developing their letters. Director, Office of Career Development, Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, NYWell organized and easy to read. I especially like the NOTE: on each letter. Alumni Placement Counselor, Auburn UniversityA delight. The aggressive, accomplishment-based style is a real plus. Director, Career Center, St. John's University, Queens, NYI especially liked the "mechanics" on p. 8. I don't know how many students I've had to teach on the basic structure of a letter. Career Counselor, California Institute of TechnologyAs valuable as the examples are (and you've compiled as complete a list as I've ever seen in one publication), the true value of the book is that you provide a "NOTE" that brings the example to life. Director of Placement and Career Counseling, University of Georgia, Athens, GA
