MCKENZIE SCOTT'S SIX RULES FOR JOB SEARCH LETTERS AND EMAILS TO EMPLOYERS

DENVER, CO - May 16, 2003 /Send2Press Newswire/ -- Kyle Stone, VP Consulting Services for McKenzie Scott, the nation's state-of-the-art supplier of technological and personal team resources for job seekers at $75,000 and above, strongly advises any job seeker to follow six basic rules in contacting employers directly.

"If you're lucky enough to get past the screener, you get only a few seconds to make enough of an impression to make the reader want to go on. So follow these rules," says Stone. "At McKenzie Scott, we follow them."

  1. Use a third-party opening whenever possible, even if the third party is not known to the recipient. A referral or "sponsor" always helps.
  2. In the opening paragraph, talk about the company and those challenges it faces where you might help. Don't talk about yourself.
  3. Quickly and briefly establish who you are and what you believe you can do for the employer.
  4. Describe your achievements only briefly, and as they relate to challenges the employer is facing. Use a high level of assumption about your ability to contribute. Details can come later.
  5. Close with thanks and a request for action or promise of follow-up.
  6. Keep paragraphs and sentences short, and the letter/email fast moving.

Not every letter or email will result in an interview, Stone says, but following these simple rules will greatly increase the odds in your favor.

McKenzie Scott is the nation's leading firm in providing technology and team resources to assist professional, managerial, and executive job seekers. Their services are described at www.mckenziescott.com.
