Qryche11 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Make it an even 40. I am done for the day and will put out at least three more on Wednesday. Newark, you are not going to find a job by just sending resume's out the door. You have to network with friends, family, former colleagues, coaches, pastors, etc. I mean you have to let everyone know you are looking and dont be shy about asking folks to recommend you to others. Hiring is not done blindly, most hiring managers depend on referrals and trust of their business partners, colleagues, friends, etc. I suggest going out and setting up profiles on these sites. http://www.linkedin.com http://www.facebook.com good luck to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BucksFan Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I wouldn't worry about the number (quantity) as much as who they are going to and how they look. Are each of them accompanied by a cover letter? Keep your head up, there are still a lot of companies hiring and looking for good quality people.

The sites I am using (for the most part) does not have a cover letter attachment on them. I am having a new one made with a cover letter attached. I am now up to 54 and all 54 places were/are hiring when I put them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
