I’ve written posts on both covering letters and resumes so all I would add here is that you should tailor your CV and covering letter for each of the jobs you are applying for. This is why you really really need to tailor your resumes before approaching an agency otherwise you will end up doing what you have always done.

Youve sent out dozens, or maybe even hundreds, of resumes and cover letters. Youve posted your resume on all the top job boards plus the various industry-focused and niche job sites related to your type of work. A large part of this depends on the role you are looking for, but don’t limit your thinking to a job description.

I am at a point where there are some things I just can’t do anymore and a friend of mine once told me “delegate everything but your genius.&# So – I was off to find a virtual assistant.

You want to make it easy to put files away so you stay organized. The plan is to delete files you no longer need, be intentional about the files you choose to keep, and then organize them in an intentional way. Deleting files is THE most important step. Did you give it a vague file name? It’s time to clean it up.

Try to anticipate the need so you can have the file or the answer your boss needs, before he or she even knows they need it. A good assistant knows just where to find the document or file needed, or they won’t stop looking till they do. Be one step ahead of your boss. Be protective of your boss’s time. Be creative.
