Dear Job Seeker

If you are confused about what makes a good CV… or need to create compelling covering letters that are relevant to each job vacancy… if you want the chance to persuade recruiters of your suitability at interview but are not even given that opportunity… then this page is what you’ve been looking for!

Here’s the story:

A proven method for writing a compelling covering letter
in 60 minutes or less … no matter what the job vacancy


Look.  In over 27 years in the recruitment industry, I’ve received tens of thousands of applications from a wide range of job seekers - from college/university graduates to CEOs.

The application letters that “jumped off the page” and resulted in invitations to interview, all had one thing in common… a formula.

There IS a formula to good job applications

There is a simple recipe for producing attention grabbing covering letters that “wow” recruiters and have them anxious to meet you at the earliest opportunity!

You can copy and apply this same formula to produce the result you crave - a chance, at least, to attend an interview and show the recruiters that you are the best candidate for the post.

Proven techniques that enable impressive interview performances
that result in job offers

A vast majority of interview attendees fail miserably at interview (if not at the first handshake) and cannot understand how or why… Not surprisingly, therefore, they go on to repeat the same mistakes at future interviews with similarly disappointing results!

If that has been your experience, then you’ll be glad to know that there is also a formula for successful interviews that result in job offers.

And the best part is that this formula is offered to you by a successful recruiter and interview coach willing to share insider information.

Here’s why you should believe me and why
“JobSearchology Membership” is right for you!

As a seasoned “bricks and mortar” recruitment business consultant and employer, I’ve seen just about every example of application letter and CV format - the good, the very bad and the indifferent.  I’ve also met every type of candidate there is… from those who made me sit up and take notice (to the point of being impatient to bring their impressive interviews to a speedy close so that I could rush their profiles off to our clients), to those who disappointed at interview, proving to be a waste of everyone's time.

Applicants have included those with little or no work experience to those who have headed major US, UK and other European companies and/or divisions in industries such as banking; insurance; professional services such as accountancy/legal; sales and marketing; media; advertising; music; travel; leisure; construction; engineering and almost every other industry besides.

What does that mean to you?  Why should you care?

It means that I know what works and what it takes to:

Create CVs/Resumes that stand out from the crowd and engage the employers’ interest;

Write compelling and attention-grabbing covering letters;

Perform confidently, impressively and successfully at interview;

Beat the competition at interview and get the job offer you desire.

You Can Have A Blueprint For Success

I have drawn on my extensive knowledge, experience and expertise acquired over nearly three decades of successful candidate search, selection and recruitment as well as working closely with clients to understand their needs and demands to create a blueprint that you can follow and apply to your own job searches. 

With the help of this blueprint delivered to you in easy-to-follow modules, you will be able to convert your applications to interview opportunities for securing a job of your choice at which you can demonstrate your abilities to your employers.

Wouldn't you like to know how to:

  • WOW decision makers at interviews, whether the interviews are one-on-one or panel or even group interviews or when you're required to give presentations?

  • Become an equal participant at an interview and make every question and answer count in your favour? 

  • Let them (recruiters) sweat it out for a day or two while you decide whether or not you will accept their offer?

  • Negotiate special terms and £7,000 or more ($10,000+)  above the "absolute maximum" or "non-negotiable" salary previously stated as being on offer?  By the way, I'm not talking about negotiations on behalf of senior executives, here, with salaries and bonuses that read like telephone numbers... even before negotiations begin!

  • Earn the respect of your colleagues, make yourself indispensable to your employers and become one of an enviable number of candidates whose career head-hunters track closely for future deals with their respective clients?
    If you are finally ready to be taught by a "no-holds barred" interview coach and former executive search consultancy owner who will help you turn your past disappointments into future successes, then reserve your spot before they are all gone!

     It’s easy to take control of your career once you know the facts and are shown how!

    Just Imagine!

    Just imagine the sense of satisfaction you'll get when you finally get your CV and covering letter written and sent off only to see invitations to interviews pour in.  Imagine, also, that subsequently, instead of a rejection, you have not one, or even two, but three job offers from which to choose! 

    Don’t believe it can happen?  Well, let me tell you, there have been many occasions, even in times of  worse recession, when our clients have fought a bidding war to secure the services of a particular candidate who was put forward by us for more than one job opportunity with different companies which resulted in an offer to that candidate from each client.  Incidentally, high flyers are not the only ones who are spoilt for choice! 

    You could be among those fortunate few
    with more opportunities than you thought possible!

    In fact, if you were to join JobSearchology.com, today, you could begin to see positive results within a matter of a few days - the first week’s lesson, alone, is action-packed with tips and tactics you could apply immediately!

    I know that when you have no job, a quick-fix, action-plan is what you need and that’s what you’ll get in your very first lesson so that you can start your job applications without delay.

    You need a good CV - I show you (with examples) how to produce one that works

    You need a compelling covering letter - I tell you what to include and which mistakes to avoid to create a letter that is attention-grabbing and which will prompt an invitation to an interview - you can model yours on examples given

    You need help with dealing with agencies -  I show you how to identify and avoid the inefficient, incompetent and downright unprofessional ones that can waste your precious time and seriously impede your success

    You want to know what jobs to apply for - I give you practical clues that will broaden your horizon to include job opportunities you had never before considered

    You lack confidence at interview (including telephone interviews) - you will be buzzing with confidence once you know how easy it is to be yourself and what impresses recruiters to the point of making you an offer.

    You don’t know what questions to ask or how to respond to awkward ones - as a member of JobSearchology.com, this will not remain a problem for you because you’ll know what common or unusual questions are asked and, more importantly, why so that you can prepare yourself to respond with confidence and to your recruiter’s satisfaction.

    You have sold yourself short in the past and fear you will do the same, again, particularly as other applicants may now be prepared to work for less money and so secure the job for themselves - you will discover the secret formula and techniques for effectively negotiating terms that work to your mutual satisfaction, even with stiff competition and without selling yourself short!

    You may be wondering if this membership is right for you. 
    If so, take a look at our FAQs sheet (link given at the foot of the page), also. 
    But here are just a few concerns that you may still have...

    There are loads of websites where I can get free CV and covering letter writing advice.  Why should I pay for this membership?

    You’re absolutely right- there are a number of sites that offer free advice and you should take advantage of good advice.  But even then, most of them will tell you what to do - assuming they have any relevant and practical recruitment experience to draw on.  A few will even include sample CVs and covering letters, but none that I know of will show you how to do it or why.  They will, of course, provide you with additional services at a price! 

    Don’t take my word for it - check it out for yourself (Google search appropriate terms) and see if the following is not true.

    If you want a CV prepared specific to your needs, you could pay at least £50+ for that service.  You’d still have to provide all the information!  If you want a covering letter prepared for you, then expect to pay anything from £95 to £195 per letter!  One covering letter will not meet all your job application needs.  If you then want interview techniques coaching, make sure you have an even fatter wallet!

    Individual coaching is expensive.  My clients have paid anything from £325 each for a group seminar (half-day) to £3,500 for one-to-one private coaching (one day) and even then the coaching has been on ONE topic only!  If you have the money, then go for it.  But for most job seekers, that’s not an option and that is why I created JobSearchology.com. 

    Why don’t you just make the lessons available in a book that one can read at one’s pace?

    Books are all well and good but even a book of this kind would be out-of-date once published. 

    But just think.  If I were to compile all 26 lessons (plus templates and case studies) in one book, the book would be equivalent to a whopping, door-stopper tome (height and width of a standard paperback, goodness only knows how thick) that would be daunting for even the most determined candidate to contemplate reading much less acting upon the information provided.  So, what good would a largely unread or skimmed through book do you, at even half the total JobSearchology membership subscription?

    I know from experience that a short, sharp and to the point, step-by-step and practical lesson, delivered in easy-to-follow modules that can be read quickly, understood and implemented, works best for most candidates.

    Each and every week, you will be given practical tips and tools to enable you to build on your previous knowledge and experience and take your job search to an improved and more effective level.  Moreover, you will be able to test your results against your actions, tweak and adjust future actions to improve your future performances.

    Will the information provided be sufficiently advanced for me?

    Regardless of your experience, this membership can only help you to improve and accelerate your chances of success.  Ex-coaching clients who are currently in senior management posts still contact me for a refresher and to “brush up” their application and interview skills before applying for new posts or attending important appraisal or internal promotion interviews.

    I’m still not sure this membership would be any good for me.

    You know what?  I don’t blame you for having doubts.  You don’t know me and until you sign up, you won’t know whether or not this membership is any good for you.  In your shoes, I’d feel the same and would want some kind of additional reassurance.  But what if I told you that you could test this out for yourself for eight full weeks without any risk whatsoever?

    Iron-Clad Guarantee!

    100% CUSTOMER SATISFATION GUARANTEE

    Clickbank sells our products - they are a trusted online retailer specializing in digitally delivered products.  Clickbank sets down strict rules regarding customer satisfaction (yours) for its online trading members like me. Those rules are not only fine by me but I also apply similar 100% customer satisfaction guarantees on my other product and service sites, even when I don't use Clickbank.com's services.

    If, after eight weeks' trial, you decide to cancel your membership for any reason, even if you simply change your mind about being a member, just email me within 60 days, using our 'Contact Us' link or, better still, contact ClickBank, direct, and you'll get any subscriptions paid to that date refunded promptly, politely and without question.

    As for the lessons already in your possession at the time of your cancellation, you may keep them with my compliments for giving JobSearchology.com membership a try.

    So, what have you got to lose?  Absolutely nothing but your gain could be considerable, even during those first few weeks!  Just think… You may, with the help of those few lessons, even manage to secure a job and that without it costing you a dime!

    There are membership sites that will warn you that once you cancel, you may not rejoin but that’s not how I want to treat my customers, even those who cancel early in the course.  So if you try the membership out and cancel before the six-month period but then choose to rejoin at some later date, when vacancies are still available, then you’d be more than welcome to start again although you may not be able to rejoin at the same price currently on offer.

    What do I mean by that?

    Membership is going to be limited to a maximum of 2500 members only.  This membership is being offered to job seekers almost everywhere on the globe (unfortunately, due to current economic circumstances, the number of job seekers is growing by tens of thousands every week in just about every country - UK, alone, currently has over 1.7m unemployed and counting).  The chances are pretty strong that all 2500 spots will be gone pretty quickly. Once all membership places are gone, no more members will be accepted unless, of course, any vacancy occurs at any time or when the next 6-month membership cycle begins sometime in July/August 2009.

    As a special concession, the first 500 members to join will be allowed to lock in their subscription payments at just $17 per month after which the membership fee will be increased to at least $27 per month, if not a great deal more!

    "When I found myself on the job market for the first time in eight years, I didn’t have a clue where to start - so much had changed in the time. I wasn’t getting responses to any of my job applications and couldn't work out what I was doing wrong. Since signing up for coaching with jobsearchology.com, I've not only been invited to interviews but have also accepted offers for project work which has kept me busy and earning while I continue to consider opportunities for a permanent job. With the help of the on-going coaching which is great, incidentally, I fully expect to find what I'm looking for in the very near future." L.A. - Berkshire, UK

    Here’s What To Do Now

    Imagine what it would be like to get invitations to interviews…  Imagine, also, how good it would feel be to bag a suitable job within days of attending interviews.  No more anxious worrying about lack of regular income to meet your ongoing commitments… No more tossing and turning at night wondering why someone less qualified and experienced than you manages to get a job when all you get is rejection after rejection.
