Finding employers to target

Have you been pinpointing the companies that you want to work for or have you been just sending out mass mailings hoping that someone will reply? While it is good not to put all your eggs in one basket, selecting certain employers to target is a good idea. Concentrating on some companies, who look to be more favorable in hiring you, rather than others can save time and be more productive.




What to do first?

The first thing to do in any job search is to do some thinking about what you really want to do in life this will guide you in the right direction concerning your job hunt. Nothing should be written in stone at this point but this is a good way to start.



Research which companies fit the description of the companies that you want to work for, you want to know how the company is doing and if they are hiring at this point. Most companies if not all have websites so that would be a good place to start.



Use your network resources to see if anyone knows anything or anybody at your targeted companies. If you do find someone at the company see if you get a informational interview with them.



Make sure your cover letter and resume are error free and that they don’t look like a form letter.



Just remember while you are targeting these particular companies you should still continue looking for more targeted companies.
