Okay, post to all online job boards and all the work in Monster, Career Builder, and Hot Jobs. Follow up with calls and network until your face is blue. Every Sunday you pick up a newspaper and apply for a job in your field without any side effects. Try some unique ways in which you can find a job.
Submit Half of Your Resume
Find the company you want to work for. Write a good cover letter on why you are eligible, pointing to a closed resume. Do not close the envelope and do not cover the resume. They will think the resume is out of the post. They will call and participate in the conversation. Sell them shamelessly.
Write a Test Book
Use the power of direct email. Find 5-10 companies. Write a letter to your social network asking them if they know any of the companies on your list. If a contact says you know someone on your list, send them your CV and ask them to forward it to the contact or ask permission to send it to you.
E-mail Chain Letter
Create a list of 20 companies you want to work for, and an email to everyone you know to see if they know anyone who works for these companies. Ask them to contact you if they do, so you can request a referral. Lastly, ask them to send your email to 10 other people. However, do not do this if you are currently employed!
Distribution Booklet
Write a pamphlet with information relevant to your industry and provide it. Everyone loves free information, and this shows your expertise. Distribute a copy of the brochure electronically and advertise it to news teams where potential employers will be able to see it.
Call Human Resources
Sounds crazy, doesn't it? Call the labor department. Ask them which foreign agency or hiring company they are using. They will ask you why you want to know. Tell them that their company is not yet looking for someone with your own set of skills, yet the agency may be working with other firms, so you are looking for recommendations. They may even ask you for an interview. If not, at least you get the lead. They would like to save on agency funds. And the commendation gives you special attention.
If you are new to the job and have been hiring for a while, here's my advice to you - find out exactly what you want. Once you know that, find a company that is willing to train or how committed to the work of its employees in the long run. If they have planned training programs, join them.
Make learning the right skills and knowledge in that industry your main goal. The skills and knowledge you have learned will contribute to the success of your career in the long run. It is something you can carry for the rest of your life. Once you have seen the benefits of committing to a company that is willing to train you for more than two years, I hope you will never run away from a job.
