Cold calling or contacting the employers directly to look for job openings is a difficult yet powerful approach to find employment. Below are some tips to help you succeed in cold calling your way to a job:
1. Make a list of your prospective employers. Compile a list of companies that interest you. Arrange them according to your priorities.
2. Use a cold calling checklist. This should contain the things you needed in cold calling such as your script, company research notes, a copy of your most recent resume, pen and paper.
3. Practice. Do a mock up of your cold calling endeavor by asking a friend to serve as the hiring manager you want to talk to. This way, you can elicit a response and get constructive criticisms.
4. Be optimistic. Keep in mind that success comes to those who have a positive attitude.
Good luck!
