Hi,
MT recommend calling the company within a couple of days of sending the cover letter. What's the purpose of that call? Is it to
- Start a personal connection?
- Find out more about the role?
- Find out if they have received your cover letter?
- have an impromptu pseudo-phone interview?
- Something else?
Is there a script for this call?
Thanks
K2
Name recognition. Stand out
Name recognition. Stand out from the crowd. First step in establishing a relationship.
You want your name in front of them as often as possible without being pushy. Think of a car commercial on TV. They're on constantly, there's always some promotion going on, but you generally ignore the commercials. Then your car breaks down, and suddenly the dealership that runs a commercial while you're watching TV has an advantage in earning your business.
