Try these job search strategies to expedite your search, find connections who can lend a hand, get your resume noticed, and ace your interviews, so you get job offers. One way to do this is to have a target list of companies you’d like to work for, and focus your efforts on making a terrific impression on the organization. The hiring manager will be able to immediately see why and how you are qualified for the job. You’ll have a much better chance of getting an interview with a targeted resume, than if you send a generic letter and resume. Join LinkedIn Groups so you’ll have access to job listings posted for Group members and more people to network with. Set up information interviews with professionals at your target companies to get more information about an industry, job, or company. Use your thank-you note as an opportunity to reiterate why you’re the best candidate for the position. If you flubbed an answer during the interview, you could also use your thank you note to clarify.
