It is as simple as adding a P.S. or Post Script, after you signature.

Why is this tactic so powerful?

No doubt you have noticed a number of occasions when you have opened a letter, looked to see who sent it, and then gone straight to the bottom to read the P.S.

This is because we have become conditioned to act like that. Copywriters, have for years, been using a P.S. at the end of a letter to get people to take action.

The best way for you to take advantage of this secret in your cover letter, is to construct a really strong P.S. that asks for an opportunity to be interviewed, and gives contact details. If you do this, you will have a considerable advantage over the other applicants for the position.

Because so few people think to use this little secret in their cover letters, anyone who does, is likely to be viewed in a favourable light.

A well constructed cover letter can be the key to opening the door to lots of job interviews. Make sure when you write your P.S. you keep it brief and concise. Follow the example of the professional copywriters and make it a call to action.

P.S. Job hunting can be very frustrating. Use this one little known secret on your cover letter and watch your success rate at landing interviews climb.
