Mass Mailings. You have to get out ahead of the crowd and get your resume in front of decision makers.
Job agencies aren't a bad idea, but employers don't need this 'middle-man' any longer. Networking and word of mouth? Unless you have prior associates sitting in high places then networking groups will be little more than therapy sessions. So, mass mailings? Here, in the US, the census bureau tracks industries by SIC (now replaced with NAICS) codes. Visit (http://www.census.gov/econ/index.html) and type in the industry in the search field. Armed with these codes you can identify the telephone numbers and addresses of companies you want to target via www.hoovers.com. You are limited to how much information Hoovers will provide you at home, so if you are in NYC visit the Science, Industry, and Business Library (http://www.nypl.org/locations/sibl). There is SO MUCH free access to stuff, you will compile a list very quickly. Take your NAICS codes, plug them into Hoover's 'Industry' tab and you will have a taste of what you've discovered. You take those telephone numbers and you call and say, "Hi, can I speak the the manager of ...." Right before you get transfered, ask for his/her name... and there's your contact. Get as many names as you can because the next step is sending the RIGHT RESUME to as many companies you physically can and play the numbers. A word about the resume you choose to send... A 5 pg CV or some chronological obituary will be quickly garbaged. The right resume is a topic for another thread. This process is a bit labor intensive, but the people who receive your marketing documents (resume/cover letter)will be impressed to say the least... as long as you have the RIGHT documents to send. A value oriented/quantifiable-accomplishment filled resume is the only option. There's an old saying, "nothing comes easy. You have to work at it in order to get what you want"... or something like that... I hope this helps. If you're not in the US, I am sure your governments track industries in a similar fashion. Hoover's, Inc. is a business research company that has provided information on U.S. and foreign companies and industries since 1990 so it may still come in handy with a little more strategizing. Welcome to the hidden job market.
