What percentage of job seekers find their job utilizing an
internet job search site (i.e. CareerBuilder, Monster, etc.)?
![Page 3: Target the Decision Maker Presentation](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032513/55d273c8bb61eb597c8b4615/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Less than 10% find their job from an internet job search
site!

Yet, many rely solely on this job search method to land a job. While it can work, statistics validate utilizing this strategy alone is likely to lead to a disappointment outcome.

Why not just apply with HR?
![Page 5: Target the Decision Maker Presentation](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032513/55d273c8bb61eb597c8b4615/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Here is a better way…use the “double hit” method
![Page 6: Target the Decision Maker Presentation](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032513/55d273c8bb61eb597c8b4615/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
When you find a job online, apply for the position through the company’s HR department. Follow the posted directions. Call to follow up within a week to give your “value pitch” and confirm receipt.
After applying through HR, research the company to determine the name of the decision maker. Develop a strong marketing letter and send along with your resume to the decision maker.

Why should you target the decision maker?
• It is a PROACTIVE approach, not passive.
• Decision makers read and value resumes differently than HR.
• Decision makers likely have a better understanding of your background and expertise.
• Decision makers make the hiring decision, not HR.

If you take the passive “apply and wait” strategy,
then remember
To get an interview, the following has to happen:
2. HR has to READ your submission.
3. HR has to VALUE (or like) the candidate’s message before the candidate will be called for an interview.
1. HR has to RECEIVE your submission.
