Life coach, speaker and author, Mark Baker, is launching his brand new book, “Stand Out Cover Letters – How to write winning cover letters that get you hired”. The book is set to go live Tuesday 26 July 2016, available on Amazon and expected to become a big hit with job seekers who want to know how to stand out in today’s competitive job market.

This is the first book Baker has authored. The book was written with the aim in mind of showing job seekers how easily they can personalize their cover letters and stand out from the masses. There’s also particular excitement about this launch because the book is said to be written from a uniquely motivational angle, not usually associated with reference resources of this kind.
“Stand Out Cover Letters – How to write winning cover letters that get you hired” sets its main focus on preparing job seekers to know why and how they stand out and then equips them with an easy letter writing method, designed to help them showcase their stand out qualities. Readers will likely find a particular interest in how they can use this new approach to access the 80% of jobs that are never advertised, called the hidden job market. In addition, they will learn not only how to write a letter that appeals to human eyes but also what specific tweaks they must make to satisfy Automatic Tracking Software (ATS) widely used by many employers today.
Mark Baker has a background in education, training, and corporate management and now works full time as a life and business coach. The author’s lifelong interest in people development undoubtedly helped shape the creation of this book.
When asked about why they wrote the book, Baker said: “As a hiring manager myself in the past, I grew increasingly frustrated with how most job seekers wasted the opportunity to set themselves apart in their cover letters. In the end, I just wanted to put something out there that could be of practical use to people regardless of their level of experience.”
Baker has hopes that the book will help all job seekers get in touch with what makes them stand out and then using this method, market themselves more effectively to get the jobs they deserve. This positive outlook from the author is certainly testament to their optimism considering some of the mishaps during its creation. At one point he wrote two chapters while on an international flight, only to have his laptop stolen at the airport on arrival. Since he had not yet uploaded his work to the cloud he was forced to immediately sit down and re-write the chapters from memory.
In a recent interview, the author made a point of thanking his family and friends who have always supported him, as well as Chandler Bolt and the ‘Self Publishing School’ community, ‘Happy Self-Publishing’ for the book’s cover art, Miranda Regan, his editor and Candela Iglesias Chiesa, his accountability partner, for their part in the creation of the book, saying: “It was Dr. Seuss who asked us to consider why we would want to fit in when we were born to stand out. You simply have to know how to stand out and now there’s a book that can show people how to do this, in respect of cover letters anyway.”
