On the 11th day of Christmas - Guerrilla Marketing for Job Hunters 2.0 revealed to me

“11 More Ways to Find a Job Today”

 

It’s Day 11! We’re almost done with this 12-part series.

 

Today we’re going to do something different. (That’s a mindset you should adopt, by the way, if you want to stand out in today’s crowded job market.)

 

Today I’m going to present 11 links to longer articles I’ve written in the past. If networking or cold-calling on employers isn’t for you, no problem. Just click on and follow one of the article links below to learn more about each job search tip.

 

The following tips certainly are “different.” Yet, each has helped someone find a job in the past. Why not you, too?

 

1.      Send half your resume

2.      Write a prospecting letter

3.      Send a letter stating you’re over qualified.

4.      Do a competitive analysis

5.      Call Human Resources

6.      Send your press kit

7.      Hold a contest or lottery and sell tickets

8. Get a job-search buddy

9.      Use personal letterhead and envelopes

10. Get your tribe to help
    
    
11. Become "the expert"

 

When using the above Guerrilla Job Search tactics, keep the following points in mind:

 

·        Be bold.

·        Be passionate.

·        Be creative.

·        Be tasteful.

·        Be safety conscious.

·        Be image conscious.

·        Enlist a personal army of helpers.

·        Offer a reward to anyone who helps you get an interview or job.

·        Involve the media whenever you can.

 

Bottom line: if you do what every other job hunter is doing, you’ll be in the same boat as all those people who gripe about the economy, heartless employers, rude HR types, “bad luck,” etc.

 

Be different, by following any or all of the 11 tips you read about today. Then, please send me your success stories at dperry@perrymartel.com.
