FREE Thank-You Letter Template ------------------------------------------------------------ November Special Offer Get a FREE Thank-You Letter Template -- a $9.50 value -- with any order of résumé editing or writing during the month of November. A thank-you letter is a little thing ... that can make a huge difference in your job search. How much of a difference? I estimate less than 5% of all people ever send a thank-you letter after a job interview. A big mistake for them, but a golden opportunity for you! This simple letter can put you ahead of 95% of your competition for a new job, by leaving the best impression with the people who interviewed you. And when you use the template I design for you, you'll save time and eliminate the hassle! Think of it. This one-page letter could be worth $40,000, $50,000 -- or more -- in salary at your new job. Hurry! You must order before November 30, 1998 to take advantage of this special offer.
