ADVICE FROM A RECRUITER > A Word from the Wiser:
Your chances of successfully landing a job by surfing the web job boards and calling recruiters are about 10%. The recommended methodology with a higher (80%) success rate goes like this:
1. Develop a database of about 400 companies that employ people with your qualifications.
2. Research the companies and stay up to date on their business.
3. Identify the HR Manager and your potential new boss.
4. Call, send resume & follow up monthly (20 routine follow-ups each day after the initial burst).
This approach requires discipline, focus and plain old-fashioned hard work, but in the type of job market we’re in it’s just as important as is not getting discouraged.
