Land a Job Without Sending an Application

Last updated: February 26, 2015 By Braintrust

While traditionally, sending a resume to a company with a job opening was the best way to get an interview, it’s become nearly impossible to stand out in an age where every opening results in a deluge of resumes. So how can you avoid falling into the resume black hole? There are a number of strategies you can use. The first is to let people know you’re hunting for a job. The more people you tell, the more people there are that might refer you. It’s important to hunt those referrals down, too. Go to job fairs, contact alumni organizations, and build your network so that you’re first in line when the next opening at that dream company comes up. Don’t be afraid to contact the hiring manager directly, either. Find them on LinkedIn or track down their email address. Let them know why you’re passionate about working for them. It’s all about standing out, which means going above and beyond simply sending in a resume and cover letter. Read the full article here: How to Get a Job Without Applying Like Everyone Else
