Online Reputation Assessment

In a recent CareerBuilder survey, 45% of recruiters use social networking sites to research job candidates. This was a major increase from 22% in 2008. If you are an IT specialist or business professional, these figures jump significantly:
- Information Technology               63%
- Professional & Business Services    53%

CV.CO.NZ offers their Online Reputation Assessment service to help you be aware of any career damaging information online, that will negatively affect your job chances.

COVERING LETTERS

The goal of the covering letter is to introduce and support the CV as well as refer to, and compliment the job advertisement, thereby enticing potential employers to read further!

A covering letter can help in the following ways:

- It can inform the employer that their company has been
    researched and the position targeted.

- It can demonstrate written communication ability and
    personal writing skills.

- It is usually the first point of contact, so it can set the
    tone for the whole relationship with the company

Our covering letter is designed in a way that it can be easily 'tweaked' for each new position you apply for. This ensures that your covering letter is always relevant to the position you are applying for and all for a low one off cost.

RESIGNATION LETTERS

This is one of the more difficult letters to write. It would be easy to say "I QUIT - See you later!"    However most companies require a notice period to be given, and many employers remember more about the performance during this final period than any other time.

A well worded resignation letter can help make this time comfortable, if not enjoyable for everyone, can help get a favourable written reference and assist the employer to remember the client favourable in the future if a verbal reference is required.

"NEVER BURN YOUR BRIDGES - YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU'LL NEED TO CROSS THEM AGAIN!!"
