Send 1/2 your resume: # 3 of 47 Ways to Find a Job

First, find a company for whom you would like to work. Write a compelling covering letter describing why you are good for them, pointing the receiver to the enclosed CV for further information. Don’t seal the A4 envelope and don’t enclose a CV. They’ll think the CV fell out in the mail. Wait for the phone to ring, speak to the hiring manager personally, engage them in a conversation, and sell yourself shamelessly.

Compliments of Matt Foster, Managing Director, CVO Group

 use high quality stationary Make sure the letter fits very snugly in the envelope so it doesn’t really fall out. Make sure your phone number is on the covering letter.

Compliments of David E Perry and Kevin Donlin. For more creative job search tactics, go to the Guerrilla Marketing for job hunters blog and download the free audio CD.
