It's people, not paper: Tap your personal network of colleagues, friends and family to find those inside connections that can forward your résumé to decision makers. If you don't have a direct line, try reaching outside of your immediate network to friends of friends, old classmates or even cold call somebody in a useful capacity who can offer inside intelligence about company culture. Don't overlook contacts working for company vendors; they are often seen by decision makers as trusted sources of referrals.
人是關鍵,簡歷其次:挖掘你的同事、朋友、親戚等社交資源,找到能為你向決策者遞交簡歷的內部關系。如果你無法建立直接的聯系,那就試試找你的朋友的朋友和老同學,甚至直接給能為你提供有關公司文化的內部資訊的人打電話。不要忽視與公司客戶有關人員之間的聯系,他們通常被公司的決策者視為可以信任的推薦人才的來源。
The more senior you are, the smaller the network tends to be, so join professional trade organizations and attend trade shows, conferences and seminars.
你的職位越高,社交的圈子可能會越小。所以,你需要加入專業(yè)的行業(yè)組織,出席各種行業(yè)展覽、大會以及研討會。
