Every day thousands job-seekers sent their e-mails applying for a job, which tend to begin with the same or very similar phrase “I am a proven professional”. There is no doubt, no one will claim to be inexperienced and not enough qualified. However, if you want to find a new job, what you have to do is capture recruiter’s attention, and you have for this 30 to 60 seconds being all the same what kind of communication you use.

Hiring managers are interested in workers who act. So, you need to emphasize your achievements and results.

To retain you competitive capacity, you need to develop a clear and precise tone, accenting your deeds and accomplishments. A few more tips:

Use phone. Although internet is the main source of receiving and sending information, and e-mails are very comfortable, it is often helpful just to call the hiring manager and talk to him/her directly. You should research a little bit beforehand on what companies are most likely to hire you and to whom you should speak when calling.

Be persistent. Waiting for a company to call you back won’t bring you a new job. You are the one interested in receiving a position and the one to call the recruiter. It is not easy to start talking and advertising yourself on the phone to a person who has never heard of you. And nobody said it was easy. Get used to refusals and don’t let them put you down.
It is recommended that you call before 9 a.m. and after 5 p.m. when there are no assistants and hiring managers go on the phone themselves. Start by quickly introducing yourself and proceed quickly to your attainments and skills that could be helpful in the firm. If the recruiter is not interested in inviting you to an interview, ask about companies that may be interested in hiring a professional like you.

Be confident. Don’t mention your failures or that you are unemployed (if it is a case). Don’t underestimate yourself. Write down your achievements and think of the positive skills you have. Be sure to mention them to you recruiter. Each and every your word and the way to pronounce it should communicate self-confidence.

Be prepared. First of all, know what you want to inquire about. You can write some specific, thoroughly thought over questions down in order not to forget them when being in a stressful situation of an interview. Sometimes, everything you need to do to get a position to ask the right question at the right time (or even better the question that nobody else has asked).
