“ I sent [my new resume] immediately to a possible new employer, who called me within minutes of receiving it. Until I was referred to you, I had been submitting the same boring resume that ... did not highlight my accomplishments." Jessica, Food & Beverage Director, 5-Star Hotel Resort |

Letters
While cover letters are not as essential in this day of electronic applications,
when you do need one, you want it to grab the reader’s interest
and keep it. You also want it to say the things about you and your skills
et al that your resume can’t. Things like answering the salary question
(while sticky, there are ways to address this), mentioning your willingness
to relocate, explaining your reason for changing careers, or noting your
knowledge of and interest in the hiring company.
Bettie will research and design cover letters that address the right person, cover all the salient points, keep it short and sweet, and paint a more accurate picture of you, the candidate. Your finished cover letter will also provide you a template for future letters.
A number of Bettie's cover letters have been included in the latest edition of Teena Rose's book Designing a Cover Letter to WOW Hiring Personnel. Cover letters are a specialty of Bettie's and she has been informally dubbed “The Queen of Cover Letters”.
“Bettie is the only person that I will ever use for crafting my resume moving forward. I have been in executive management for over twenty five years and have had many versions of a CV along the way. I have never had so powerful and holistic a resume as the document she prepared for me. The professionals who have reviewed it for validation all agree. Bettie captured the essence of my talents and memorialized in exquisite detail not only what I have accomplished but also what I bring to the table for a prospective employer. She is also the ‘Queen’ of cover letters! I highly recommend her.” — PS
