Quick and Quintessential Career & Job Tips
Job-hunting tips from the March 6, 2000 issue of QuintZine.
How many people should you network with during your job search?
Kate Wendleton of the Five O'Clock Club, says the average job hunter
meets with 60 people during the course of a search.
Interested in locating headhunters (executive recruiters)? Contact
the Recruiting & Search Report (904-235-3733) for its inexpensive
directories covering 5,600 headhunters classified by
industry/functional specialty. Consultant News (603-585-2200)
publishes annual editions of The Directory of Executive Recruiters,
which is available in bookstores or from the publisher.
Consider joining Toastmasters to bolster your job search. This international
organization serves as far more than a venue for networking. The group helps
people overcome the fear of public speaking and learn skills to
enhance success. It's especially good for those who are very shy about networking. Members of
Toastmasters receive constructive evaluation. It's an effective way to build
confidence while building your network. Toastmaster chapters are all over the
world (check you local newspaper or phone book for one near you), but if you
can't find a local branch, the Toastmasters
International Web page tells you how to start one.
