Hey bitches, I am a recent graduate and have had internships my last year of college BUT I am still not getting any interviews. I use the right sites, follow yours and ask a managers cover letter and resume tips but cannot land an interview. I look for jobs 4 hours 3 days a week and it doesn't feel like enough but I feel so defeated. Is there something more that I could be doing?
What a fucking pain job searching is, my dove. But there is one more thing you can be doing.
Instead of looking for jobs, look for employers. Look for places where you want to work whether or not they have a job opening.
Write them personalized letters that go something like this:
“I know you don’t have any open positions right now, but when you do I hope you will keep me in mind. Here’s why I’m awesome. Here’s why I think you’re awesome. And here’s why I think we’d be awesome together. Attached is my resume”
Some will throw your letters away. But some might actually keep the letter on file. And some of those might have jobs open up in the next few months and give you a call before posting the job to the public.
Think this is far-fetched? This is literally how I got my first job. My future boss emailed me four months after I sent him a letter to ask if I was still looking for a job. I had an interview by the end of that week and a job offer by the end of the day. I was the only candidate he interviewed. He never posted the job. If I had waited for a job posting, I wouldn’t have even known the position had opened up.
It’s hard out there for a pimp. Which means you need to stop playing by the rules. Go on the hunt. Find what you want and ask for it before it’s available.
Good hunting.

From the trenches: Yes. Absolutely this. Speaking as the person in charge of recruiting, I will absolutely hang onto these and hand them over to the managers who are seeking employees at the first mention they might want a new person. And just so you know, we’re but a small company and we’re always looking for certain people on the DL. We advertise for positions we have to fill, but we also are looking for the *right* people for a few jobs we could fill but don’t necessarily have to.
^^^^ See?
