Building a Strong Contact List for Your Job Search
When networking during your job search, it's important to focus on people who can have the largest influence over your ability to get hired for your target roles. The first group to target is the hiring manager, as they make the final hiring decision. Although they can be difficult to find, you can look for people whose titles align with the hiring manager's role or the manager of the team you would be hired into. The next group to target is the hiring team, which includes potential peers and colleagues. These individuals can provide valuable insights into what the hiring manager is looking for and can refer you to the hiring manager. Additionally, targeting individuals who work alongside the team you're interested in can strengthen your chances of getting hired, as their referrals carry weight with the hiring team. Lastly, consider reaching out to anyone at the company who may be able to refer you, even if they are not directly connected to the hiring team. Although less powerful than referrals from the previous groups, these referrals are still stronger than cold online applications.
