CareerMysteries

Good, old fashioned letter writing never goes out of style, even in this computer age.  One method of job hunting involves sending out letters and resumes to targeted companies that could potentially have job openings to suit your career goals.

You need to use a savvy approach with a touch of salesmanship along with tact and great grammatical prose to get his or her attention.  Be concise but detailed in how you plan to help his company achieve their bottom line.

A synopsis of your credentials comes next with a closing statement about why you would be the best candidate for a job with them and a comment about how you intend to follow up with him should be in the last sentence.

Then do it.  If you say you will call him on Thursday at ten, call him exactly at that time.  He may not take your call, but he will note that you kept your commitment.
