Dear Name,

I enjoyed the chance to visit with you in your office today concerning career opportunities with ABC Company.
After discussing the future of the company I am convinced that I can make a positive contribution, and believe our association could be mutually beneficial.

I was especially impressed with the information you provided concerning expansion into other markets and the need for an invigorated marketing effort.
With my background in advertising and insurance sales and experience as a carnival promoter, I believe I have a lot to offer.

ABC Company has an outstanding reputation in the field and is the type of organization I wish to associate myself with.
I pride myself on being an outstanding salesman and promotional specialist, and look forward to a chance to make a positive contribution during this period of growth.

If I can provide any more information that would be of assistance to you, please don?t hesitate to call me at the phone number listed above, or email me if that is more convenient.
I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

Again, thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

John J. Doe.

Using this sample letter will save you time and lead to more second interviews and more job offers.
However, if your field is not sales or marketing it may not be perfectly suited to your needs.
It should be easy to analyze the thank you letter and see which sentences and paragraphs can be changed to make it fit your needs and your profession.
With modern word processing software you can customize one version, and then copy the file and make another letter geared towards a different type of job completely.
For instance, if there are three or four types of jobs you would consider then creating a thank you letter for each is probably a good idea.
The same of course is true with your cover letter and resume. Different versions for different types of jobs, emphasizing different aspects of your skills and experience will make you more versatile.
If, however, you are determined to pursue only one type of job, then you obviously need only one sample letter, one type of cover letter and one type of resume.
This is a personal choice and you are the only person who knows exactly what job would be best suited for you and if there is more than one type you?d consider.

Basic SEO Article - Focusing on Quick Optimization Techniques For The Newbie

by: Brad Callen

Basic On-Page SEO

On-page optimization is often ignored by the top sites on Google - after all, who cares about a few percentage points when you can literally buy your way to the top of the search engine result pages (SERPs) with a bucket-load of inbound links?

Today I?ll discuss a bit about why, contrary to common practice, why on-page SEO is so important and then tell you how you can quickly optimize your web pages even if you have very little time!

On-Page SEO - The Benefits

A lot of webmasters (including some self-proclaimed SEO experts) claim that on-page optimization is obsolete - that the only thing that matters is off-page optimization (i.e. link building).

So is that true?

Actually, like most SEO hype, there?s some truth involved. Inbound links have become the overwhelming determining factor in a website?s...

What Do You Mean I Am A Product?! (Career Marketing 101)

by: Alesia Benedict, CPRW, JCTC

Job search seems to have many hurdles to overcome ? resume, interview technique, appearance, and networking are challenges that job seekers face. These hurdles are surmountable with a strong job search plan and dedicated execution. Job seekers need to apply traditional advertising and marketing methods to their job search to achieve results. By thinking of themselves as the ?product? and the employer as the ?buyer? job seekers can approach their career transitions from a sales aspect.

Market Analysis

They need to conduct a market analysis similar to what most business owners have developed as part of a business plan. The business owner must conduct some sort of market analysis to determine to whom they are going...
