What to Do Instead of ScouringJob Search Boards
• Use your time to build the relationships that will get you into target companies before positions are even posted.– Start researching the
company.– Read its web site.– Google its press releases.– Learn about its products or
services. – Look on LinkedIn to see
whether you know anyone who works there, or whether you have a second-degree connection who works there.
