Are you ready? Okay, listen up because here is one secret you won't want to miss. No, it's not about winning the lottery or buying a car at half price or cleaning up at poker. It's much better than any of those. It's a secret ingredient you can apply to all your job search cover letters and it works so well, you'll want to pull it out like a rabbit from a hat whenever you need a touch of magic! This little 'bunny' has been around for decades but few people take advantage of it. They are too busy trying to impress employers with what they believe is the tried and true cover letter. But I say, 'It's time for a change, a change that works.' And what is this magical secret? Heads up! Here it is. The mighty P.S. (postscript). Add a P.S. to the bottom of your job-search cover letter and it will perform. “That's it?” you may ask. “I thought I should add a P.S. only when I forgot to include something in the letter itself.” That's one way to use it, but it's not the only way. A P.S. on a cover letter is so powerful that some people skip over the letter and read the P.S. first! Once they read it, they'll pop back to the front of the letter to find out what this is all about. You've probably noticed that advertisers and marketers use the P.S. to restate the action they want a reader to take. Example: P.S. CALL TODAY FOR YOUR FREE ANALYSIS. P.S. ORDER BEFORE SUPPLIES ARE GONE AND PRICES SOAR. As a job seeker you can use the P.S. in a similar way. THREE examples of how the P.S. can make your cover letter the best yet!
