Dear HR in Massachusetts:
A Five OClock Club survey of professionals, managers and executives clearly shows that job hunters get more meetings for the time spent through direct contact than through any other single technique. Surveyed job hunters spent 61% of their time networking, yet networking accounted for only 28% of their meetings. On the other hand, surveyed job hunters spent 11% of their time on direct contact, which resulted in 35% of their meetings. Networking is very time consuming. You have to find people who are willing to let you use their names. With direct contact, there is no middle man. Select twenty to thirty organizations in your targeted geographic area that interest you. Your goal is to get in to see people who are more senior than you in the organizations you targeted -- whether or not they have an opening right now. Then them keep in touch with them. Its a very effective technique. Most jobs are created for people. They have not even told someone they are looking. I will send you a PDF that contains examples of the specific letter you can use as well as hints on how to make effective follow-up phone calls to land a meeting. Readers who would like a copy of this PDF should email Kate@fiveoclockclub.com and include Direct contact in the subject line. More information about how to effectively contact employers directly can be found in the Five OClock Club book, Shortcut Your Job Search: The Best Ways to Get Meetings, (Delmar Press, 2005). Good luck, Kate Wendleton President, The Five OClock Club National career coaching and outplacement firm www.FiveOClockClub.com |
