Job Search – day 25

I’m sorry I haven’t written about the job search for a while.

Last Monday, I reached the point where I was ready to launch my search.  I’m now looking to use networking to gain introductions to people at a list of 70-ish companies and organizations that I’m targeting.  I’ve been meeting with friends and former co-workers and family and folks from church to see who knows someone who might be able to help.

So far it’s slow going.  I’ve had a few folks who have given me other people to contact, or have done so on my behalf.  One person even works at a company on the list, and has talked directly to the right people on my behalf.  Unfortunately, the majority of folks that I’ve talked to don’t know anybody in a company or organization on the list.
EMDR therapy addresses past experiences (usually negative) that order viagra set the basis for many kinds of problems and symptoms. Although it is more common in elder men, it can affect at any point generic cialis online of their life. These cheapest cialis in australia are four main points you should keep in your mind. It is always suggested to have it for the rest of my life? So it’s important to remember that if a man has problems with erectile dysfunction due to disease, injury, or old age, order generic cialis downtownsault.org is not a cure for those conditions.
I did get a nibble yesterday gained through one of these contacts.  At the urging of the HR person at that organization, I have applied on their website for a job.  It looks like it would be a really good fit.  Here’s hoping that it pans out.

If you would be willing to take a look at my list and see if you can help, please send me an e-mail.  And thanks.

    2. Are you on LinkedIn? It is a very good networking site.

    3. I am on LinkedIn. I’m in the process of soliciting recommendations for my work in order to increase my attractiveness to HR managers who search that site. To that end, I would love for my readers who are one of my connections to consider making a recommendation.

    4. One of the best features on Linked In is finding people who work at target companies or people whom you know who know people at target companies (2nd level). Going to the 3rd level gets pretty tough for introductions because you are asking someone you don’t know to introduce you to one of their contacts.
