Cold call in job search



A cold call is a very effective way for searching hidden job market.
The goal of cold call is to lead to a job interview.
But a lot of  people don't use cold call because:

  • It's scary to do



  • It uses scripted, forced conversations that sound like a sales pitch



  • The fear of being rejected or not knowing what to say



  • In cold call, followings steps to follow:
    1) Introduction: "Hi, I am Jiansen Lu"
    2) Give a brief explanation of your work background and your level of experience. ie. "I'm a software programmer with 10 years  experience. Can I talk to the hiring manager
    to enquire the job opportunity in your company?"
     3)Finally ask for an interview. ie. "When can I meet with you in person"
    I use goolg map to search
    "IT company in Vancouver" and start cold calls.
