I was laid off from my job three
months ago. Since then, I’ve been
pounding the pavement looking for
another job.
So far, nothing has turned up, so I
decided to take the bull by the horns
and deliver inquiry
letters to every
company that might have a job opening.
...
Dear Ms. Smith (or the name of their
personnel officer):
I am writing to inquire about any job openings
you may have for someone with my experience
and qualifications. I
worked for
six years as a software engineer for McQ Corp.
and I have extensive training and
experience related to software
development.
I have enclosed a copy of my
résumé. I would appreciate an
opportunity to speak with you regarding any
openings
you may have or any consulting work
your company requires.
Thank you for your consideration,
and please don’t hesitate to contact
me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Steve Woz
...
I’m planning to personally deliver each letter,
with the hope of talking with someone in the
company. It is going take a lot of
time and
legwork, but I have no intention
of sitting home and twiddling my
thumbs while I wait for my next job!
