Your key to making a great first impression…

Cover letters, resumes, references, portfolios and thank you letters can be grouped together as professional communications.

These things are essential to finding and securing a job.

Professional communications are your first chance to dazzle a possible employer with your qualifications and competency – your first shot at a first impression. Unfortunately, a poorly put together cover letter or resume may be the only communication you ever have with an employer.

Here we provide you with guides to writing, sending out and replying to professional communications and interviewing tips.
