"Finally! What you didn't learn in college about how to
find -- and get -- the job of your dreams. I would have
killed for this ebook when I was a new job seeker. It would
have saved at least 6-8 months of wasted effort in my first
job search. Get this NOW before the price goes up!" The
Last Job Search Guide You'll Ever Need
Getting an entry level job can be a difficult task even
when you're a recent graduate armed with a diploma or degree
and figure that you're ready to take on the corporate world.
If only someone in the corporate world would give you a
chance to get your foot in the door though…
Getting a job isn't necessarily a case of sending off
some resumes and waiting for the calls to come in.
Too many job searchers fire off a dozen or more resumes
to hiring managers and sit back and expect that their door
will be broken down by companies begging them to take a job
with their company.
The Internet has made it very easy for everyone to
fire off resumes left, right and centre so hiring managers
have had to invent new ways to weed through the hundreds of
applications they might receive for each job they
advertise.
One way to get past finding your resume in the junk
folder of the hiring managers you've emailed is to take
another approach to try to get your foot in the door.
Consider finding some decision makers in your chosen
field and contact them to ask for help. Tell them you're a
recent graduate and are trying to get your foot in the door.
Don't ask for a job, but request their help.
Ask who they'd suggest speaking with in your industry who
might open some doors for you.
People generally like to help other people even if it
means simply pointing you in the direction of someone else
who can help you further. If you're lucky, you'll find
someone who remembers how difficult it was when they
were searching for their first job and will be willing to
give you some advice.
Look for professional organizations or trade groups that
represent your profession who might offer some advice, too.
Don't forget to utilize your college or university's
placement center as well. Any job search advice they can
provide might be just what you need to get your foot in the
door.
The more avenues you pursue, the better your chances of
getting a job.
