Sweet Job Tips: Target Companies: Uncover Hidden or Lost Contacts

Job Tip: Target Companies : Hidden and Lost Contacts

This week's Job Search Tips:

Job Search Success Strategies

Chapter 7 - Target Companies (pages 117-118) 

4 Tools for Uncovering Contact Names

1. You will most likely uncover some contact names through the resources I have mentioned earlier in this chapter.

2. Don't forget to go to each company's website. It always amazes me how much information is available on corporate websites with respect to their executives.

3. Use Social Media to research executives at your target companies. If you do not know the person, then see if one of your connections knows someone within the company.

I still have a strong professional bias toward LinkedIn over Facebook and Twitter. I do not, however, think Facebook and Twitter should be ignored if you are a "free agent." You never know where your next interview will come from.

4. Use the Google or Alexa search tools.

a. At Google.com, go into the Advanced Search

(www.google.com.au/advanced_search).

b. In the top box, enter the company name.

c. In the third box, type the title two levels above your title (your boss's boss's title).

d. Go back to Google's Advanced Search and put the first and last names of the person you've uncovered on the first line.

e. Put the company's name on the third line.

f. Run the search.

g. This strategy will give you some background information on your target contact.

These are some starter ideas on how to approach your target companies and organizations. If you are currently frustrated with the results so far in your job search, then now may be the time to start with a fresh slate.

You may have been doing all of this when you first started your search, but perhaps you have fallen off the wagon and gotten less disciplined over time. I know that one of the secret keys to a successful job search is a combination of a strong sense of discipline and persistence.

Take a second look at your search. Re-evaluate your target companies. Maybe there are some ways you could and should expand your list by widening your net.

Have a great week and week-end.

Take care,

Eleanor
