Just as resumes have evolved to meet the changing demands of our multimedia culture and online job search, cover letters have undergone a fundamental change from their previous content, structure, and format. 

Because they are now almost always electronic documents - either sent as an email or uploaded to a job board - cover letters now need to be sharply focused, concise, and to the point.

In this Master-E-Session, you will learn strategies, techniques, and tips for writing today's modern cover letter, the E-Note. 

Specifically, we will address how to:

• Determine if an e-note is the “right” writing strategy or if a more traditional cover letter is the best approach for a specific client situation
  
• Convey meaningful information in a short email subject line
  
• Capture attention immediately with powerful and relevant opening language
  
• Showcase your client's most important “selling points” in brief paragraphs or hard-hitting bullets 
• Tell stories that resonate with your audience
• Address the most critical requirements of a job posting quickly and concisely 
• Create an email signature for your clients 
• Develop an e-note framework so your clients can easily edit the content to match specific jobs 
• Give your clients a foolproof format they can email or upload easily, without glitches
  

And, using before-and-after examples, we will show you - not just tell you! - how to adapt traditional cover letters to meet the needs of today's job seekers.

It is important to note that there are clients, job opportunities, and situations that will require a more “traditional” cover letter, and we'll discuss that as well. Knowing which type of letter to use - why, when, and how - is critical to getting your clients noticed, interviewed, and hired!

As with all of our Master-E-Sessions, you'll receive a content-rich portfolio of handouts for the class - samples of resumes, cover letters, e-letters, bios, and other career marketing communications, along with additional writing tools and resources that you can put to use immediately.
