Особенности поиска работы 9. Сопроводительная эволюция

Как я уже кратко упоминал в подробной статье об опыте поиска работы в Австралии, достаточно важную роль в количестве откликов, а значит и успехе поиска, играет сопроводительное письмо.

Начинал я с такой версии:

Время показало ошибочность такого one-size-fits-all документа, к тому же скорее тезисно повторяющего резюме, чем фокусирующегося на ключевых моментах подаваемой позиции.
Чуть позже я подсократил его, слегка переработал, но по сути подача осталась та же.
Эволюция продолжалась, и мой первый отклик из ИБМ я получил на подачу с таким письмом.

Правда кроме небольшого телефонного собеседования с рекрутером дело в тот раз, не пошло.
Тут подоспела помощь друзей, много полезных советов в частности по написанию сопроводительного письма, и дальше получилась версия, с которой я более менее работал до конца поиска работы, модифицируя формулировки под каждую позицию.

Но на все формальные вакансии выходил уже вооруженный супер-консервативной, как я это называю, версией письма. Применял я его, опять же меняя формулировки и фокус навыков/ достижений под каждую вакансию, в крупных запроцедуренных корпорациях, и только при подаче напрямую. В агентства и небольшие компании напрямую продолжал подавать предыдущую "мобильную" версию.
