Talk to the person noted on a job ad
Always talk to the person noted on a job ad...the power of TALKING TO PEOPLE in a job search is massive.
A job advertisement is another person’s expressed need for a new employee to fill a vacancy and solve a problem in that organisation. That is not a complicated synopsis…the role may be complex, but the initial recruitment/action reason is not.
It is a specific call to suitable candidates (in the general public or industry sector at large) to contact them, either by telephone, a formal written application or both.
Recruiters do not put their name and telephone number on a job advertisement for no reason. Obviously, they WANT to speak to interested people.
Therefore, make it a strict rule to always ring the nominated person prior to lodging an application. You may be surprised at the additional information gleaned that was not clearly expressed in the original advertisement.
Then immediately invited that person to connect with you on LinkedIn.
