Most job seekers …

search for jobs on LimageinkedIn, apply to jobs online, and send their resumes across to generic email addresses hoping for a response.

On the other hand, the inspired job seekers … make connections. They reach out and connect with the companies they admire even if there is no job posting. They make connections between their past work and the role they want to fill. They connect the dots of their past experience and how relates to their passions. Most of all they connect with people, not just to get the job but because they want to form real relationships.

Most of us have tried both methods. I did in my recent job search as well.

In today’s world, it’s easier than ever to go online and apply, but it’s more important than ever to truly reach out and connect.
