THE WEIRD EXPERIMENT THAT

RESULTED IN X4 INTERVIEWS..!

A while ago I noticed some strange stuff happening on

CreativeSync

yep that’s my website

folks!

Some designers were getting more (I mean loads!) more

interviews than everyone else??(Very Strange!)





So I decided to try a small experiment..(to see what was going on!)

I applied to x9 different job listings using x3 different covering letters and the results blew me

away!

2. GIVING A ‘REASON WHY’ I APPLIED FOR THE JOB

THE RESULT = 0 Interviews

The 3rd Cover Letter 3

UNAPOLOGETIC 4. I DECLARED HOW GOOD I REALLY WAS 5. CTA ASKING THEM TO CONTACT ME

6. I PROMISED THEM RESULTS 7. ADDED A FEW REFERRALS UPFRONT

WARNING

Use this approach with CAUTION as I have always been an advocate of TAILORING your CV to each vacancy for the best response rates. For example, I would

DEFINITELY NOT use this approach with recruitment agencies.
