Continue the Communication Process

Job Tip of the Week

A little-known job search secret is that a significant percentage of people get jobs each year using non-traditional methods to communicate with potential employers. Communication is key. Once you interview with a company-or even send in a resume-you do not have much to lose by communicating further. For example, calling before sending a resume is a great way to get the employer’s attention. Calling after an interview to reaffirm your interest is another great way to get an employer’s attention. Making sure you remain on the employer’s radar with a series of notes (even if you end up getting the job six months from now) also helps a lot.
