The Perfect Match Letter
By Ford R. Myers
President of Career Potential, LLC
When responding to an advertised job opening, following-up after an interview, or pursuing an opportunity arising out of your networking activities, a particularly strong format for your cover letter is called a “Perfect Match Letter.”
All three of the situations mentioned above offer the chance to sell yourself by matching YOUR experience/strengths/contributions to THEIR problems/needs/challenges.
The “Perfect Match Letter” gets its name from the fact that your letter is divided into two columns with a line down the middle of the page, giving the body text an overall appearance of a two-column “matching exercise.” The left-side column heading should be “Your Requirements” and the right-side column heading should be “My Qualifications.” You will fill the left-side column with bullet points outlining the credentials and experience that the company is looking for. The right-side column will have its own list of bullet points, itemizing your matching qualifications for each of the job’s requirements.

You’ve landed your new job (or soon will). Congratulations! Now you can “put your feet up” and take it easy, right? Wrong! In many ways, your work is just beginning. It’s time to start thinking about your future – which starts on the first day of your new job and continues through the rest of your working life.
How will you maximize your chances for success in the new job, and minimize your chances of failure? How will you offer the highest levels of value and contribution to the new organization? How will you establish a positive and productive relationship with your new boss? How will you build strong and effective teams? How will you align with the company’s main business goals and priorities? How will you continue learning, and expanding your positive impact at work?
These questions, and others like them, could “make or break” your next position – so it’s vitally important to consider these topics “ahead of time” and prepare for the launch of the rest of your career.
Career-Coach-on-CallSM
“Urgent Care” For Your Career
Do you have the occasional need for career guidance, but not enough to justify engaging in a complete career coaching program? Would you like quick access to a leading career expert, and only pay for as much coaching as you need?
Then we have the perfect solution for you. Career-Coach-on-Call is a new service offering from Career Potential, LLC.
Until now, Career Potential, LLC only accepted “full program clients” and offered no “coaching by the hour.” Career-Coach-on-Call makes professional career coaching more flexible and accessible on a short-term basis, without the big commitment.
Career Coaching via Video Conference
Our coaching model allows us to work remotely and still provide exceptional levels of connection, quality and impact.
Here are just some of the benefits of doing career coaching via video chat:
Safety – clients enjoy productive, one-on-one coaching sessions without worrying about possible exposure to Coronavirus
Time – clients save time by not having to travel to our offices for coaching sessions
Comfort – clients are often more comfortable working from their own homes or offices
Flexibility – clients experience fewer planning conflicts and more options with scheduling
Convenience – clients who travel for work are still able to attend their coaching appointments by using mobile devices from anywhere
Career coaching via video conference is easy and effective.
