Hello Extraordinary Professionals!
I’d like to let you in on a little secret. Did you know that, according to LinkedIn, an astonishing 85% of all jobs are filled via networking? In last month’s newsletter, I talked about the incredible benefits of using a cover letter, but there is another tool that is frequently overlooked and potentially even more important and useful in a job search than using a cover letter alongside your resume. It is the Career Networking Letter! Have you ever used one? Using a Career Networking Letter can expand your potential opportunities exponentially.
What is a Career Networking Letter and why should you use one?
In a nutshell, a “Career Networking Letter” is a short and focused letter, written to someone you know (or want to know) that describes your background and interest in a new job. This letter is personal and highlights your specific strengths as they relate to the employer’s needs.
Career networking letters are a way to meet people who know people. It opens the door to opportunities and helps you develop your network. Everyone likes to be able to help others and in most cases, those people have connections that can help you further your career.
Thousands of positions are created and filled without ever being advertised. A career networking letter will help you uncover these hidden job opportunities. A career networking letter could be your secret weapon in your next job search.
I’ve made it easy for you to start incorporating this extremely useful networking strategy into your career advancement and job search strategy. This month’s featured resource is a Networking Letter Template. (See below) Make sure you grab this resource today so that you will have it in your arsenal when the time comes to use it.
I hope you are finding these monthly newsletters to be a helpful resource for you. Do you have questions? Topics you would like to hear about? I’d love to know what’s on your mind and how I can help you with your career strategy.
Until next month, stay well!
