VOLUNTEERING
If I scan the newspaper’s ‘Help
Wanted’ section, review job
posting boards and surf the net I
will find work.
Faxing out 100 resumes to
random companies will land me a
job quickly.
All I have to do is let a few people
know I am looking for work and
wait for the phone to ring with
that job offer.
The most qualified person will get
the job.
The traditional work search
strategy worked for my parents it
will work for me
