This document provides tips for getting employers to call you, including being creative in a smart way by researching the business and knowing what skills are in demand. It recommends optimizing your LinkedIn profile with a headline, real-time updates, recommendations, a summary, and listing relevant groups. Build a VisualCV with an optional video, samples of work, and images to showcase qualifications. Most importantly, be qualified for the positions by knowing your skills and abilities, and have a well-written resume that highlights successes rather than just listing job duties. Endorsements and referrals from reputable sources with influence can also help get an employer's attention.
