Find a New Job
Are you looking for a job, and already make a lot of applications for a job? Have you posted to every internet job such as job on Monster, and CareerBuilder. Have you followed up with calls and networked until you are blue in the face, and have tried making application for every job in the newspaper? If you have done all this work and you still not find a new job, so you have to create some unique ways to find a new job.
Send Half of Your Resume
Find a company you want to work. Write a great cover letter on why you are a good fit, pointing to the enclosed resume. Don’t seal the envelope and don’t enclose a resume. They’ll think the resume fell out in the mail. They will call and engage in a conversation. Sell yourself shamelessly.
Write a Prospecting Letter
Locate 5-10companies. Write up a letter to your contact network and ask them if they know anyone who works at any of the companies on your list. E-Mail Chain Letter
Create a list of 20 companies you want to work for and send an email to everyone you know to see if they know anyone who works at these companies. Ask them to contact you if they do, so that you can ask for a referral. Finally, ask them to forward your email to 10 more people. However don’t do this if you’re currently employed!
Distribute A Booklet
Write a booklet with information relevant to your industry and give it away. Everyone loves free information and this demonstrates your expertise. Give the booklet away electronically and advertise it to newsgroups where hiring managers will see it.
Call Human Resources
Sounds crazy, right? Call the human resources department. Ask them what outside agency or third-party recruiting firm they use. Send them a thank you note.
So don’t afraid to try to find a new job with the tactics above and with other tactics that you have, these are guerrilla tactics that can give you better results.
