We’re continuing to look at your list of contacts today. But today is an action day.
There’s a template in your workbook on page 5 of your 3rd workbook. I want you to personalize it and send it out today. You can choose contacts from your LinkedIn network or someone you have on the list of those you couldn’t find online.
If you can’t find an email address for them, it’s fine if you hand deliver a note if you see them at church, at a community gathering or socially. Making the request formal adds weight and shows someone you’re actively looking. It also serves as a reminder for them they need to send information your way.
Make sure you spend time defining what it is you want in a career. If you have personal business cards, include those with your note. You never know who they might hand it off to.
These people now have information about your skills and qualifications they can pass along to people who might be looking for an employee as well. It’s a win – win process.
Your starting to cast your bait in the water. It shouldn’t be long before you start to feel the nibbles on the string.
