Dear Candidate, My research assistant submitted your resume to me a few days ago that he found posted on the Internet. Your skills and experiences are impressive. I would like to keep in contact with you for future opportunities that might be a better fit than any of our current assignments. Just for your reference, you can view a few of the non-confidential job listings listed on our web site http://www.wagl.com. Our company specializes in helping advanced/middle management professionals into positions with outstanding growth potential. Most of the jobs we work on are 100% confidential. We also, on occasion, represent our clients with other types of positions that are normally outside this focus. If you have been searching for your next opportunity for a few weeks or longer, you should find the following information useful. This simple newsletter has helped a few of the candidates we couldn't work with directly. We have outlined the benefits and weaknesses of various Internet job-seeking resources. I find that too many job seekers limit their search to just one or two job sites. This strategy is extremely limiting. There are a lot of opportunities on the Internet but they will not be found with limited research. Most of the best jobs are not advertised; those jobs are only found through networking or by reaching out to new recruiters in your field of expertise, on a large scale, before they recommend candidates to their clients. Even in today's economy, the independent recruitment business is alive and well. Recruiters are responsible for placing 50% of jobs between $50,000 and $90,000 per year and 85% of jobs over $100,000 per year. Love us or hate us, we are still in business. If this is your target salary, we need each other for our mutual success. JOB SEARCHING -- You can search for jobs at no charge on virtually every job site. These sites make money by charging recruiters and employers to post jobs. The drawback is that the best jobs are not posted here or anywhere. Here are a few well-known examples. http://www.Monster.com (for general jobs) http://www.dice.com (tech jobs) http://www.vault.com (general and various jobs) http://www.RecruiterConnection.com (for middle/upper management jobs) http://www.HeadHunter.net (lots of tech jobs, as well as many general ones) RESUME POSTING -- Posting your resume is also free most everywhere. The drawback is, in order to be effectively 'found', there are a few hundred places where you need to post your resume. All 'top level' job sites (the ones with television ads) charge large sums of money to search that resume database. This pricing model virtually guarantees that most employers and recruiters will not find your resume. Posting your resume to lesser-known job sites is often more effective because most have a larger recruiter and employer user base (those sites charge little or nothing to search for resumes). There are a few online services that take the pain out of posting your resume to 30 or 40 effective job sites. Each site charges a nominal fee for the time they save finding and posting to that many job sites. Here are a few examples. http://www.resumevalet.com http://www.careerexpress.com CAREER COUNSELORS -- Realizing a need for career marketing services a few companies are successfully assisting executives with a personal direct marketing campaign. Their services include resume writing, counseling, and resume distribution via regular mail. This type of marketing effort will uncover the hidden job market for the few professionals smart enough to recognize the benefit. The personal attention they offer is great but you will spend as much as $8,000 with no guarantee of a job. Here are two established firms that help many people. http://www.wsacorp.com and http://www.job-hunting.com TARGETED RESUME DISTRIBUTION -- For proactive job seekers who earn between $40k and $260k and want an intelligent connection to the executive recruiters that serve their industry, profession, and location, this is the best answer. This service focuses solely on the distribution of your resume, via email, to over 10,000+ executive recruiters. It is much better than being lost in a database and putting your life on hold while waiting to be found. We see job seekers succeed with this approach on a daily basis. This approach builds an instant network for the job seekers who have been too busy to cultivate one while they were working. This instant network helps find rewarding jobs close to home or in another part of the country. With a proactive approach on a large scale, you will uncover all the opportunities you really have, rather than accepting the ones that find you. When we receive distributed resumes from recognized firms we read them because we know those resumes are targeted to our needs. And, they are sent without attachments. Due to virus threat, it is our policy to delete every email that contains an attachment unless we have a prior relationship with the sender. Keep in mind that traditional boundaries in recruiting have been eliminated due to the Internet and low-cost phone services. At this moment our California office is working on two confidential positions: one in Atlanta and the other in Chicago. Simply put, the more targeted recruiters you contact, the more opportunities you will uncover... even in your own city. Here are two older established firms that are leaders in filtering technology. They will help open the doors of opportunity, targeted to your background and interests. So small an investment into your future; we encourage you to take a look at two of the best firms we use. http://www.RecruiterConnection.com http://www.Xpostit.com I hope that you found this information useful and will use it in your job search. Pass it on to a close friend, but only if you wish. In the mean time, I will contact you again, when a suitable opportunity arises. Best wishes with your search. Donald Wingate, Managing Partner Wingate and Grossman, Ltd. http://www.wagl.com If you do not want our firm to contact you in the future, please reply with "REMOVE" in the subject. Our email server will put your email address into our database of "inactive" job seekers. You will not be contacted in the future, even when a job matches your background.
