Thank you for selecting “Five Ways to Benefit from a Makeover of your Job Application Documents”. This book was created as an introduction to the bigger picture concept of how a makeover of your job application documents can help you. Taken from sections of my website content and my responses to client inquiries, this informational product outlines five areas that will improve by changing your documents, and reveals aspects you may not have considered before. The book also contains a glimpse into my upcoming CareerLove series of self-help e-books and workbooks and what they can do for you.

Like many readers, you may be searching for a how-to book with concrete examples and case studies of sample job applications, real-life suggestions and insider ideas and solutions. Or you may be looking for ideas, prompts and exercises to get you started in creating your own fresh content based on your work history and background. I want to help you with this, too, and this exact material is coming up in the rest of the series. Stay tuned to the links at the end of the book and your favourite online book marketplace for updates on the series.

Introduction

It takes courage to take a new step in life. Making a change in your career is a big and bold move. It also takes courage to realize that you haven’t been presenting yourself in an optimal way. You may look at your own documents and say to yourself: “This old version doesn’t really represent who I am anymore”. Your image may be suffering because you’ve been using the wrong approach. Or maybe you created some content a while ago that was intended as temporary filler: It’s minimal for getting the job done, but not ideal, and without any real “wow” factor. Or perhaps you’ve been holding onto outdated or inaccurate beliefs about what you need to do.

But that’s all about to change once you realize it’s time to give your written image a modern makeover.
