If you’re nervous about making a good first impression, there are several things that can help inspire confidence: a nice haircut, a fresh shave and a smart new outfit.

If you’re looking for a job and you want to boost your confidence, you’ll need all of those things plus two more items: a polished resume and a thoughtful cover letter.

Indeed, there are very few things I can imagine that can give a job seeker a better pep in their step than a good-looking cover letter and resume.

But putting together a cover letter and resume yourself can be a chore. A real chore. My mother-in-law has been to my house I-don’t-even-know-how-many times to borrow my computer so she can try and get her resume just right.

So it is with that introduction that I’d like to let you all know about one of my most recent clients, Rachael Kaplan of Right Your Resume.

I helped build that Web site and from what I’ve seen of her business model, I think Rachael will fill a much needed role in helping people put the story of their careers down on paper (or, in an email, I suppose). She’s very easy to work with and her rates are very reasonable.

So, do yourself a favor and boost your confidence with a smart looking resume and a cover letter you can be proud of.

You’ll thank yourself when it helps you get a job interview. Then, you’ll have to get the haircut, shave and outfit. I’m sorry to say that’s something Rachael’s Web site can’t help you with. Not yet at least.
