Direct mail works, here is another technique

Everybody likes getting a postcard.

It means somebody was thinking about you.

Why not use the same technique to get the interest of the person who can give you a job.

Remember the last time you received a post card from someplace far away, , Paris, New York,  Las Vegas, Sudbury?

You would have flipped it over straight away to see who it was from.

In their book How to Get Clients Jeff Slutsky and Marc Slutsky’s customer did the same thing.

She paid her kids to address post cards from Los Vegas which she then sent to her potential customers.

You can do the same thing by writing this line on the back, “Don’t gamble on your next hire. Call me, and let’s talk about how I can help you build your business.”

Action Steps:

• You can use any casino’s postcards.
• A picture of dice has a similar affect.

Here are a couple of options to consider:

• Put a picture of something in your industry in obvious distress and change the back to “Don’t let this happen to you. Call me, and let’s talk about …”
• Why not put logos from all the companies you have worked for on the front? The line on the back can be “These are some of the companies I have worked for…”
• You could show images from different countries and say “”These are some of the places I have helped my employers make money…”
• Make sure the postcard does not look like a sales pitch – it will ruin the effect.
• Let your imagination run wild!
• You can create great postcards real cheap at at Vistaprint or Uprinting
• The effect is not the same with the e-cards so use real ones.

This article is just a small sample of how you can do to take control of your Job hunt and make it effective. I work closely with the two experts in the field, Kevin Donlin and David Perry, co-creators of the Guerrilla Job Search System.

Job hunters who use “Click and Apply” wonder why they are not getting interviews and ultimately taking far too long to get a job.  I hope you are not using “Click and Apply” as your major tactic. You have many more strategies and tactics to make an effective job hunt.

The only Job Hunting system I recommend is the Guerrilla Job Search System.

The system works, because it helps you do what you do best. Kevin and David have been interviewed by Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Fortune magazine, and the Christian Science Monitor about their method to finding a job.

Go right now and listen to a sample of how Kevin and David will get your job search into high gear

If you want to know why I think the Guerrilla Job Search System is so effective for job hunters read my review of it here.
