About seven months ago I moved from Atlanta, Georgia to the state of New Jersey I left a really good job in Georgia and had to start all over in New Jersey due to my spouses job transfer. I found it really hard to look for a job in New Jersey I was getting nowhere I was sending out resumes and I was not getting any callbacks . I decided to try cold calling . What I did was compile a list of companies in my area that I wanted to work and I probably started out with about 30 companies I researched the phone numbers and contact information of each company . I called the company and I asked for the hiring manager , if possible do not ask for anybody in human resources because they will not help you try and ask for the hiring manager of the department you want to work in. Once you get in contact with the hiring manager tell them which department that you are interested in working in . If they tell you to apply online don't forget to give them your name and contact number so that they remember you . Sometimes they'll ask you to email your resume to them , if they do send a great cover letter along with your resume with all your contact information once you do that wait about two weeks and call back , keep a record of all the companies that you call including contact numbers the date and who you talked to. you will get more callbacks looking for a job this way. It will feel weird at first but once you get good at it it will come easy this way you are taking control of your own job hunt you can look up tips on cold calling for a job online there's all kinds of different great tips but this is what I did and it worked for me!
