Make a good first impression on employer before sending your resume - CareerEnlightenment.com

3. Give them a callI know. Calling to your dream employer directly can be a little scary. Especially if it is one of your very first positions. Don’t worry, tough. All you need is a good preparation. Write everything you’d like to tell them down on a piece of paper. The message, once again, should be you ‘’selling’’ yourself and explaining why you are the right person for the company. What problem can you solve for them?After you’ve written down your key messages, practice. Ask your friend to pretend to be the employer and have a virtual call with them. Trust me, this way you’ll boost your confidence.Many employers out there prefer receiving a call, rather than having to read through your email. It’s more efficient and less time-consuming.4. Comment on their blogAnother thing you could try is finding out whether the person from a department you’d like to work in has a blog. You can usually find a link to their blog on their Linkedin or Twitter profile. You could e ven try to Google their name and see what type of information pops up. If they have an active blog, it will appear for sure.Then read their articles and comment on them. Share your point of view or ask them an additional question. It should be more than just ‘’Great article!’’.If you like writing and have your own blog, you could even write an article sharing your opinion or a point of view on the same topic. Than send it to them explaining that you got inspired by their work. It’s very flattering to writers.5. Meet them in personHave you heard the story about a guy who pretended to be a postman delivering doughnuts to his potential employers? In the box there weren’t just doughnuts, but also his resume! Now that is one creative way to make a good first impression!While you could try the same, another good idea would be crafting an amazing resume specific to the company, filled with your top skills, experience and a good evidence for each point. Show up with a smile on y our face and a good explanation why you’d like to work for them up your sleeve.Over to you!Making a good first impression on an employer before sending a resume might seem a bit unnatural at first. But once you give it a go, you’ll see it’s easier than you think. I hope you’ll give one of these options a go next time you look for your dream job. Let me know how it went in the comments below.
