BEYOND SENDING YOUR RESUME

YOU’VE DISTRIBUTED YOUR RESUME…… SO WHAT

Now that you’ve faxed, mailed or e-mailed your resume you’re probably wondering why your phone is not ringing off the wall or e-mails are not filling you’re in box.

It’s an employer’s market and you are competing against a number of qualified individuals for each position. So what can you do to stand out from the crowd? What can you do to capture their attention?

You must do what others are not doing! Namely use your own Marketing Campaign.

  • Make multiple quality contacts using Phone, e-mail, letters, video e-mail and post cards.
  • Using Networking, find a way to get an introduction.
  • Show up at the work site or location and ask to speak with the hiring manager. If you don’t get to see the manager, leave a hand written note.
  • Invest $2 in a McCafe card and mail to the hiring manager with a note indicating what’s a time to meet and you’ll spring for the coffee.
  • Send a funny e-card.
