Back to your resume and cover letter you’ve been working on:

What other next steps do you want to take to make these two components stronger?

• I will continue to pass my resume around, I will pass it to my mentor for his review/suggestions as well as friends/family that work in the industry already. I will take the advice given in order to strengthen both of them.

Outreach Brainstorming:

Either explore the company you wrote a cover letter for or find a new company to explore this week; Go to their company LinkedIn page and start to explore the employees. Who are a couple people you could reach out to? Why?

* One of the companies I conducted (or at least attempted) research on was IBM. This organization is an international organization, tracking down someone that worked in HR was not the easiest. 

Finalize Your Plan:

Who have you decided to reach out to? Why that person? How will you contact them? What do you want to talk to them about? How will you follow up?

* I have not decided on someone to reach out to. I have adjusted my outreach research and am in the process of selecting a new company.

Execute your plan:

• Reach out to your contact THIS WEEK. If possible, reach out to more than one person OR find a meetup to attend also. What happened? What did you learn about the company? What other next steps should you take for pursuing this company? Be sure to update this in Huntr.

Great plan to get second and third sets of eyes on your resume and all career docs.
