Here’s a tactic that worked for me to get phone meetings with Executive Recruiters Send an email to the CMO, CTO, CFO or whoever is the top person for the division of a company that you want to work at. Im in marketing and while it sounds crazy, I’ve emailed plenty of CMOS and every time they have an ER reach out to me. Even if a role isn’t available at the moment, it gets you on their radar and opens the door for future conversations. If you do it, you will thank me later 😊😊😊
@@Deara.following-theway just be transparent and say that you are seeking new opportunities and would appreciate an opportunity to meet with them and share more about your background and why you think you could be a value add to the org. Sounds cheesy but it does work. Now the reality is most of the time, they’ll respond back and have their executive recruiter do the real work. But that’s all you need. A foot in the door.
Do people really have all that much time to be doing all that work and creating a whole entire website just to get a job I mean if you're that invested then why don't you just open up your own company
Yes. Especially for creative, marketing, and technical roles. Own your name as a domain and keep it updated. When a potential employer searches for you they'll find you quickly and bypass the crappy self-serving Linkedin algorithm.
Yes. It dosen't have to be done in one setting or who has time to complete. This is great advice for resume, pre interview video to get the employer interested. Especially the resume portion. I am a hiring manager for private practice in medical. I don't know how many resumes that are set in the format of "one page resume" that get skipped or tossed. Because all of those usually have no passion and they are blindly applying on autopilot. Usually are generic in description. When I see a resume that is creative and unique, I look for a story of a person past and current skill and why they are passionate about the role which they are applying, it could come in the form of a letter head. These are the things I look for because I want people that are passionate about what they do. As much as I am passionate about building great teams and meeting the needs for the organization I work for. To be blunt, speaking for who I work for and who I hire. I don't want a stick in the mud to work for my organization and their many sticks in the mud and very few Gems.
Go to hr directly??! It’s been my experience that hr is not actually interested in hiring people who can be effective in a position with their company. They do seem to be interested in abusing applicants with the goal of ‘weeding out’ as many as possible. It’s been such a bizarre experience trying to deal with hr that I really don’t know how else to describe it. I have been fully qualified for each job I have applied to…I just couldn’t seem to successfully navigate the moving target of lies spewed at me by hr.
"Don't pester the recruiter" But persistence pays off, doesn't it. Candidate:" I am interested in your job. Can I have the job? " Please!" Recruiter: "No" Candidate: "Please!" Recruiter: "No" Candidate: "PLEASE!" (Days later, after constant pestering) Candidate: "PLEASE!" Recruiter:" ALRIGHT!"
Unless the resume goes through their computer systems which pops on keywords, then the "clever" resume might not even get looked at. I worry that "gimmicks" like the Danish makes the employer think you aren't taking the job seriously.
Do these tips work for remote jobs too?
I have resume website, but for those companies were I interviewed they didn't check it.
Interesting recommendation on the video resume, thanks.
I'd love to get the link for the resume website.
great tips, thank you!
Thanks a lot Brian

How do you get their email? What do you say in the email?

Amazing, I will try this

Excellent
Brian, are you currently working for a company or are you self employed?
Where is the link for the resume website?
I am going to apply your advice on this.
The Information is GOOD!

I feel like the Danish is missing a actual resume.
If 20%+ job postings are fake and never get filled, resume customization shouldn't be too deep. How about customizing job search to fit a resume?
HR professionally a seems like everybody's a professional these days sure
u need a danish like i need a hole in my head……😂😂
