Mr. Cover Letter

23/04/2021

If you want to get more job interviews from each application you send, in a smaller amount of time, then tailor every resume and cover letter specifically to the role you are applying for. There's no other way around it. People reading them can smell a generic application from a thousand miles away. They want to feel special. Make them feel that way.

[Workshop alert!] Are you a professional looking for a thriving career in the Netherlands?

Join me in three online sessions of 90 min each so we make sure that within a week you completely turn around the way you present yourself online, in print, and face to face.

Either if you are just graduated, recently landed, in between jobs, or looking for new opportunities and looking to start a career in the Netherlands, this workshop will teach you all the secrets you need to know and you’ll learn more in three sessions than all the efforts you’ve put in the last applications, at a fraction of its cost.

This workshop is for you if:
😤 You are actually looking for jobs but struggling to get results
🤔 You are about to kickstart your job search
😒 You are tired of getting the same copy/paste rejection emails, and not getting any feedback on why you didn’t make it to the shortlist or what you could improve.
🤯 You find it difficult to clearly articulate your value in writing, online, and in print.

I’ll provide direct feedback before you apply to make sure you are geared up for success.

ONLINE WORKSHOP – Limited spots January 18, 20 and 22, 2021. (5:30-19:00 CET) You want to thrive in your career. You want to clearly articulate your strengths and skills, and land job interviews so…

Imagine your sink leaks, your shower doesn’t work and your toilet doesn’t flush.
​
If you are like me, you will probably call a plumber. Right?
​
Picture you get in touch with two of them. Both highly recommended by people you know and trust. Who would you choose to get the job done?
​
Plumber 1: “I’ll make sure you can make use of the toilet in an hour, enable you to take a hot shower in the afternoon, and you’ll be able to wash tonight's dirty dishes without worrying about ruining your new kitchen floor ever again. By tomorrow morning, you'll be wondering if all that chaos wasn't just a bad dream." ​
​
Plumber 2: “My previous work experience allowed me to perform in under-pressure environments. I can easily adapt to any situation and in all my jobs, I 'm always looking for opportunities to learn and rapidly develop myself. I can handle responsibility and besides my technical skills, I can also perform very well as part of a team, but also very capable of working on my own. I like to be committed to my job and always look for ways to improve things and to be a part of the solution.”​
​
Pretty straight forward who you'll choose, right?
​
Either if you are starting to look for a new job or already sending job applications, I have lots of tips to help you do it properly so you can enormously increase your chances of success.

But here’s the first tip: be more like the first plumber.
