'Did You Get My Resume? I Really Want This Job'
We got an interesting e-mail this morning from the Ask The Headhunter newsletter about follow-up phone calls.
Nick Corcodilos (the headhunter) thinks they’re kind of silly. After all, what are you going to say besides “Did you get my resume? I wanted you to know how badly I want this job.”
He recommends instead doing what most of our Circus speakers have also suggested: solve a problem for the company, and call to discuss that.
While we’re so not fans of doing free work, it appears that at least until unemployment goes down to a reasonable number, competition is so stiff that you’re best off identifying the two or three companies you really want to work for and then working as hard for them pre-hire as you would after getting the job.
