You need to have a really, really great resume and that resume could be a printed thing that you send to people. If you see a company that you like to look off before a job even lands, just email them,. Email their head of design or their head of technology or their MD even and say, Hey, look, I love what you do. People want to be flattered. And if something comes up and getting in touch with them, or maybe even going for a coffee, meet this person, send them out because if we're not hiring now, we will be in three months time.
Andy Budd reveals what the hiring minds of companies are really thinking. He answers how to navigate the recruitment process and presents an invaluable insight that shows how to subvert it altogether. He urges us to be more of who we are and to recognize that each of us has unique talents that are fit for the right organizations at the right time. He also emphasizes that it's up to each job seeker to communicate their personal value if they want to land the job of their dreams.
