3. Cover Letter Writing
Applying for a job requires making a personal connection, and requires showing that you are the right person for the job and a fit for the company.
A well-written cover letter shows that you are serious about a job opening; just sending a resume with no cover letter marks you as a mass-mailer who will take any job you can get; and a poorly written cover letter increases the chance the resume will not be read.
Price is $95.00 per letter with resume purchase, $185 if you are not buying a resume. Includes customization of letter for one targeted company/job openings if provided prior to writing. Additional customizations are available for an additional fee–just ask!

8. Career Assessment testing and help
What do you want to do? What are your skills? Frankly Speaking offers some testing you can take to help assess your vocational interests, skills and career plans.
a) WHAT SHOULD I BE? A CAREER INTEREST INVENTORY
Are you looking for a list of possible jobs that correlate with your career interests and skills?
This assessment is based on Dr. John Holland’s theory that people and work environments can be loosely classified into six different groups. Different peoples’ personalities may find different environments more to their liking.
Used by over 22 million people worldwide, it has also been translated into 25 different languages, and results have been supported by over 500 research studies.
Taking the Self-Directed Search will determine your 3-letter Holland code to help you find the careers that best match your interests and abilities. The outcome will be a list of occupations (and college majors) with codes identical and/or similar to your own.
You can then explore the careers you are most likely to find satisfying based upon your interests and skills. Your report will also give you recommendations about how to proceed through your career development and decision-making process.
This test includes the Assessment Booklet, a Career Options Finder booklet, an Exploring Careers Booklet, and a one hour consultation to review results and formulate next steps. $85.00
Holland Career Interest Inventory, $85.00 or Request more information
b) SHOULD I CHANGE CAREERS? The Career Attitudes & Strategies Inventory
Take a “barometer” test to help you identify barriers to your success. Use this test alone or in conjunction with others as a career checkup that surveys beliefs, events, and forces affecting an your career.
This assessment is a comprehensive inventory of your current work situation that includes common attitudes and beliefs as well as strategies for coping with job, family, coworkers, and supervisors. This inventory assesses the likelihood of job stability and helps to clarify situations that may be career obstacles.
These scales provide a brief survey of attitudes, barriers, experiences, or strategies that may merit further exploration as you think about your career. This includes job satisfaction, work involvement, skill development, risk-taking style, and dominant style. It also addresses specific areas of concern from a list of 21 potential career obstacles such as health or emotional problems, financial worries, education.
You receive the Inventory Manual and scoring instructions, an Interpretive Summary Booklet, plus up to a one hour consultation to review findings and plot next steps. $75.00

c) WHERE DO YOU FIT? THE DISC PROFILE
The Personality Style Analysis is based on results from the Personal Profiling System, a proven professional Communication Style Analysis tool.
It is based on the simple seven minute evaluation you complete for us to process. The system classifies people by their relative strengths in four classical styles, and individual results vary widely from one person to another. Results are given in a computerized report between 9 and 19 pages long. The report is a detailed commentary including:
1) General Statements and Characteristics–recognize your natural blend of behaviors
2) Understand how to be an integral part of a team by using your personal strengths
3) Communication “red flags”
4) Self-perceptions–how they differ or agree with what others observe about your behavior
