Be Bold
Hey you!
Stop being tentative on your job hunt.
Make it happen. Take charge. Own your day.
Take bold action.
Follow. Up. Repeatedly.
Listen, the job hunt is a sales process, which means after you email your pitch, you want to follow up repeatedly (every couple days until you get a response). This shows a company you are interested, not annoying.
And it can be helpful to use not only email, but LinkedIn and Twitter DM’s.
To build the mindset of a sales professional, check out this article on the Agogic Sequence to following up.
“Bumping your custom email back to the top of the prospect’s inbox with a one-sentence, ‘Just seeing if you got this…’ type email consistently sends the open and response rate through the ceiling.”
