REFERENCEs

Dear Client, 


I have received your request for a referral or endorsement for a job opportunity, and I truly appreciate your interest in leveraging my network, reputation, and support. It is essential for us to share a mutual understanding of the importance of referrals and endorsements, why your application materials matter, and how we can collaborate effectively.


The Value of a Referral/Reference/Endorsement

Referrals and endorsements can be potent tools in your job search. They not only increase your chances of standing out but also provide a distinct advantage in a competitive job market. It places you on the inside track, making you more visible to potential employers.


The Importance of my Personal Referral/Reference/Endorsement

I'd like to emphasize the significance of a personal referral, recommendation, or endorsement. When I refer, recommend, or endorse someone to my professional network, I am vouching for their qualifications and character. My reputation is at stake, so I need to be confident that those I stand behind are not only qualified but also genuinely enthusiastic about the role they're pursuing.


Your Role in the Referral/Reference/Endorsement Process

Before you add MY NAME for a job and request my referral or endorsement, I kindly ask that you follow these steps:


1. Quality Resume and Assistance:

  • Email me your finished and professionally polished resume.
  • Ensure your resume includes exact keywords from the job description.
  • Focus on quantifiable achievements, not just a list of tasks, and have clear results.
  • Ensure your resume has been reviewed by a peer or professional.


2. Impact-Driven Cover Letter:

  • Craft an impactful cover letter that explains why you're interested in the company and are qualified for the position.
  • Share how your skills and experiences align with the job requirements.
  • Clearly convey the value you can bring to the role and the organization, which also includes skills that are listed in the job description.


3. Match the Job Description:

  • Tailor your application materials to match at least 75% of the job description.
  • Highlight relevant skills and experiences that showcase your fit for the role.
  • If you are not a strong fit - explain how your skills are transferable.


4. Polished Application Materials:

  • Ensure your materials are free of grammatical errors and typos.
  • Maintain a professional format and structure.


5. Quantifiable Achievements:

  • Provide concrete examples of your accomplishments, using numbers or metrics, when possible - in your materials. 


By following these steps, you increase the likelihood of a successful referral, reference, or endorsement and demonstrate your dedication to the job opportunity and your potential to contribute to the role.


I am here to support you in your job search journey, and I genuinely want to see you succeed. 


However, please understand that a referral, recommendation, or endorsement is not guaranteed and depends on the quality of your materials, their alignment with the job requirements, and whether I can honestly speak to your qualifications for this opportunity. 


I will decide within 10 business days - if I'm able to honor your request.


Thank you for appreciating the significance of this process, and I look forward to assisting you on your path to a fulfilling career. When your resume and cover letter are ready, please email them to me and your confirmation email (if applicable).


Warm regards,


Natascha
