I've included some of my favorite quotes this week from our 16th and 28th president to inspire you.
Dreaming dreams and having vision for your life is so important.
I hope you are making some time on a regular basis to "dust off" your dreams, remember what motivates and
inspires you, and take specific actions on goals to make those visions and dreams happen.
Sincerely,
Marcy Travis, Job Search Cafe.com Owner

"Dust Off Your Dreams!"

"We grow through our dreams.
All great men and women are dreamers. Some, however, allow their dreams to die.
You should nurse your dreams and protect them through bad times and tough times to the sunshine and light
which always come. "

Customer Service Representatives
Customer service representatives provide a valuable link between customers and the companies who produce the
products they buy and the services they use. They are responsible for responding to customer inquiries and
making sure that any problems they are experiencing are resolved. Although most customer service representatives
do their work by telephone in call centers, some interact with customers by e-mail, fax, post, or face-to-face.
Although customer service representatives work in a variety of settings, those who work in call centers
generally have their own workstations or cubicle spaces equipped with telephones, headsets, and computers.
Because many call centers are open extended hours or are staffed around the clock, these positions may require
workers to take on early morning, evening, or late night shifts. Weekend or holiday work is also common.
Most customer service representative jobs require a high school diploma. However, because employers are
demanding a more skilled workforce, some customer service jobs now require associate or bachelor's degrees.
Customer service representatives are expected to experience faster than average growth (21% or higher).
Furthermore, job prospects should be good as many workers who leave this very large occupation will need to
be replaced.
The Median wage in 2008 for a customer service representative was $14.36 /hour.

Why Do companies Require a Cover Letter?
Preparing a cover letter can seem like another tedious task in an already difficult job search. Completing a
letter of interest or cover letter is really important, though. A great cover letter format will help you
effectively communicate your qualifications and sincere interest to an employer and will reduce the time
you are pounding the pavement looking for work.
Most professional job advertisements specify that a cover letter or letter of introduction accompany your
resume when applying for a job. You should customize each cover letter and resume, targeting the job
requirements listed in the job advertisement. You should express your interest in the prospective position
and highlight how your specific experience and training qualifies you for the position.
It takes extra effort in this economy to obtain a job. Doing a focused, targeted Cover letter and Resume to
effectively communicate your skills, qualities, and experience to an employer is one of the keys to getting
that job sooner rather than later.
