The Stealth-Guide to Getting Your Resume NoticedThe Stealth-Guide to Getting Your Resume NoticedThese days, when applying for a job, its pretty hard to get your resume noticed. You have to fill in a long application and submit your resume, which is then put in a giant stack with the rest of them. The resume, which youve worked on for hours and reviewed 100 times until its perfect, gets a six-second look from the hiring manager. Then its never seen again. And that makes sense if you had 50 resumes on your desk, you wouldnt spend a lot of time reviewing each of them meticulously. Despite that, theres a real and relatively unknownway to get your resume noticed. What if we told you that you could just beipass the whole 5-6 page online application process? How, you ask? Well, You just go to the recruiter, talk to them, and give the resume to them directly. Sounds really simple, right? Then why havent you tried it yet?The first step is to find the recruiters contact details, and whats a b etter place to look than LinkedIn. Just Google Company name, Region, Recruiter. Now, depending on the size of the company, someone working in Talent Management doesnt necessarily mean theyre in charge of hiring. Thats why try to also check in their work summary whether theyre the ones recruiting or not. Now that you know who youre dealing with, you can send them a Linkedin Mail. (Which theyre probably just going to overlook, and thats not what we want.) So what you should be looking for is their work e-mail. Most of the time, you can find it in the Contact Me section on Linkedin. If the email isnt there, another vorkaufsrecht is trying to Google their name. Youll probably come across their work email somewhere, or try to find their Facebook/Blog for the personal one. Didnt work? Dont worry, we have some other tricks up our sleeves. Try downloading Rapportive. It a chrome extension that shows you information about the person you are emailing to. Companies usually use the same email f ormat for all of their employees, something like name lastname company. You can easily find an email of someone else working there, and use the same format. Didnt work? Trial and error try experimenting with different formats, such as Last name or last name first name until Rapportive confirms it. After you get some luck with one of our advice, send them an email explaining why you want to work for them. The fact that you went through all the effort to get hired in a certain company shows determination, a trait that every employer loves.If you want to take it a level higher, go for the CEO. Their e-mail addresses can be a bit trickier to find, but you can probably handle it with the above mentioned method. CEOs are considerably busy, so they might just overlook your e-mail, or even send it to the trash. Thats why the next step could be tracking them down and meet them in person. This is probably nigh-impossible for a large corporation, but for startups, to mid-level companies, it can work perfectly. CEOs are usually known to lurk 4 different places. The office, some conference, some event or some talk. So, just go by the office, and mention that you need to talk to them. binnensee, regardless of the character of the CEO, theyll see that youre determined, much more than any other candidate. At the least, youll have a much higher chance of getting your resume noticed itll be THE resume, not just one of out a bunch.
