Job Search Tip

Most people cringe at the thought of cold calling to market themselves. However, cold calling remains an effective job search strategy. Monster.com Contributing Writer Carole Martin suggests writing a script for yourself to help you keep on track and to ease your nerves during a cold call. Your script should include a greeting, an introduction, a brief summary of your skills and accomplishments and a request for an interview. Try to shake the negative associations you have with cold calling by reminding yourself that you have a valuable service to offer. Your phone call could make someone's day by saving them the time it would take for them to search for someone with your talents.
