Sonoma County's Candidate for Supervisor, BOLT President Joanne Sanders
                                  

Sanders Tosses Her Hat in the Ring

 

Last month, Sonoma County voters got a surprise when Joanne Sanders announced she was a candidate for County Supervisor.  
 
In addition to operating BOLT Staffing, Joanne has been a member of the Sonoma City Council for 8 years and Mayor for two of those years.  Joanne sees her next challenge as a way to bring her real world  executive experience in the business of finding people jobs to the business of running Sonoma County.
 
"There's a new reality in the employment world and county salaries do not reflect it, particularly at the top." Leading by example, she has pledged to donate 30% her county supervisor's paycheck to charity if she's elected."
 
"If elected, one of my first motions will be to reduce the supervisor's salary by 30%."

Key to Cover Letters
Are You Covered?
Cover letters tell the employer why...

Your cover letter is the first thing a prospective employer will see about you. Like all first impressions, it is critical.
 
It's your opportunity to tell your prospective employer to stop looking, because you are the person they are looking for.
 
That means you can't afford canned, one-size-fits-all statements.  This needs clear and it needs to be personal.
 
You want to tell them why they need to stop looking. The best way to do that is to tell them what you can do for them. 
 
A good cover letter makes the reader want to look at your resume. 
 
So give them reasons by telling them the job you're applying for, where you saw it posted, and most importantly what you can do for them based on your experience.
