Because of the competition in job search, you do not only get to submit
attractive and professional resumes, but you have to be creative! Think
out of the box and be the 1% of applicants to capture the interests of
recruiters. Most times, you do not need to wait for vacant positions to
be announced.
Below are some unconventional methods to capture the interests of company owners and recruiters (bluechip companies, start-ups, etc);
Prepare a marketing plan
A marketing plan is a comprehensive document or blueprint that outlines a company's advertising and marketing efforts for the coming year. It describes business activities involved in accomplishing specific marketing objectives within a set time frame (lets say 3 months). Note that the marketing plan should first come in a one page concept note with highlights of projections. Leave out the detailed activities.
Search out top executives in LinkedIn (as you do not have access to their personal email addresses) and send a simple mail like this:
Hello Mr Kunle, I was just going through Dranve Limited website (or page or whatever) and decided to draw up a tentative marketing plan to increase your xyz product sales (or subscriber base) by 38% in the next 3 months. if you are interested, I can send you a brief of the marketing plan for your perusal. It won't take much of your time.
If its worth giving a shot and if you don't mind, I am willing to be a part of the team to implement this plan and if we are able to achieve 50% of set target, then maybe you can retain me full time. I have always wanted to work for Dranve Limited.
Regards.
You have to use his/her name and ensure to state the name of the company and its services/products. It shows you actually took your time in doing a research and reduces your generic look-alike letters.
Every company wants to increase sales, get new clients and remain relevant. Show them you are not just interested in collecting salary every month but actually interested in moving the company forward. Go out there, buy books, do research and learn how to prepare a marketing plan.
More strategies and methods coming up soon. If you are targeting the oil & gas, engineering, real estate industries, don't worry, there are strategies for these sectors also.
