“By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is the noblest; Second , by imitation, which is the easiest; and third, by experience, which is the bitterest.”- Confucius

Now I am going to tell you a story about myself that took place a few months ago. Every person gets to a moment in his life when he wants something new. A new job, a new love story, a new car, a new haircut if you want to. I have decided to change my job. I was pressed by a mortgage loan for my lodging, I had a lease for my automobile.

After a long search I found a job ad that suited my requirements for a desired job – well paid, with opportunity for a career growth and in the vicinity of my home. Now I had to face something that terrified me! The composition of a cover letter .Yes, will say most of you – a big deal! You write something for your previous experience, your strong characteristics, qualities and skills and it’s ready! I wanted to see it with my eyes.

And the searching began. I had to see how others like me overcome that difficulty. To my great astonishment I couldn’t find a similar example. There were lots of ready letters, but nowhere could I find the advertisement for which the person had applied and whether the candidate had succeeded. Advices from experts and other “guru” in this field weren’t missing, but I continued searching for my ideal cover letter.

I browsed sites where I had to pay member’s fee, I saw programs for the preparation of ready cover letters only with a few mouse clicks. “Hey!”, I said to myself. “My wish is not to become an expert. I want to compose a motivation letter and to get the job!”

I didn’t find that. It was much easier to attain a serial number for Windows Vista and to watch the new Hollywood hit, for example, than to see a real cover letter. A letter composed by a real person (like all of us) for a certain job application.

Now when I look back I think of that time during the past summer with a smile on the face. And I made up my mind. I was going to create a blog where to publish cover letters, letters, written by ordinary people – people like you and me. I just chose the difficult way.

Meanwhile… I got the job!
