Surprising Ideas for When You Lose Your Job

By Peter Newfield | July 12, 2018 |

THE UNEXPECTED UPSIDES OF BECOMING UNEMPLOYED First, let’s just get it out there: to lose your job is scary, but it’s happened to most of us, so you’re not the Lone Ranger. And since most of us are still here to talk about it, it’s not the end of the world either. You’ve lost your…

Dear Peter,
Good to talk to you yesterday. Got Lynn’s final resume draft and three flavors of cover letters, i.e., for companies, recruiters, and VCs. Excellent work. I’m too close to myself to write about myself anymore and I’ll forever be indebted to my good friend and old Cray colleague, Terry S., for putting me on to Lynn, and you. I showed the documents to my wife who’s been a corporate communications writer (and 10+ plus books she’s ghost written or co-written over the years … she’s now a life-coach workshop leader), and one of the best editors I’ve ever met. And she said it was excellent work. THAT, Peter, from Caroline, is very high praise. So I’m delighted with Lynn’s work. We both are.

Hi Lynn.
First off, let me say that when I decided to go ahead and get my resume professionally written, I really did not have particularly high expectations and that I was probably going to waste my time and money. I was very pleasantly surprised. You did an outstanding job. My yardstick was simply that I would hire myself after reading what you created.

Ilona,
Your efforts have produced an excellent resume.
I’ve answered your questions, added a few points and made some factual corrections using red type. The factual corrections were needed due to
information I sent to you which was inaccurate.
Again, The resume is excellent. Transitioning into medical sale will be difficult but I’m going to give it a try before accepting a position in printing.
If I were to request a cover letter, how long would it take you to prepare it?
Thank you,
John R.
