Dear JobsBlog: I frequently see phrases like "ask your recruiter" or "talk to your recruiter.” I've signed up via the internet and posted my resume, but I do not feel like I have a position of speak to at Microsoft. How do I go about acquiring in touch with "my" recruiter? Answer: Whooo... This is a big one. I like it : )! It sounds like you’ve found some positions you’re really interested in and have applied over the internet but haven’t heard anything back. This is tough. First,Office 2010 Home And Student Activation clave (http://www.office2010key.eu/), what does it mean to work with “your own” recruiter? Our College Recruiting team assigns recruiters by colleges, so if you are a North American college student, you may already have a recruiter. If you are an experienced applicant, getting a match with the right recruiters (who are generally aligned to Microsoft products) can be a bit more challenging. Here’s a few ideas to try out: Keep applying: As I’d mentioned in my previous post, recruiters are routinely checking the careers site for resume submissions. Provided that you’re not overdoing it but applying only to the positions that you’re both strongly qualified for and interested in,Office 2010 Pro Plus Activation Key (http://www.office2010key.us/), you have a great chance to hear from someone. Patience and tenacity can pay off. Self-evaluate, edit your resume & re-apply: Applied for multiple openings, convinced you’re the perfect fit for each, and still not hearing back? Maybe your resume isn’t reflecting this as well as you think. See some recent tips from Angela on writing your resume and consider modifying accordingly. Also remember that we use a search algorithm (custom to each placement) to assist in reviewing qualified candidates. Don’t add blind keywords for your resume, but do make sure items listed in the requirements for a place are well reflected in your resume. Search out your own recruiter: The net is an interesting place. These days, with the popularity and increased relevance in search technology and social networking, it’s not too difficult to find ANYTHING you’re looking for. Applying for a position in Windows Live Experience? Doing a search for “Windows Live Experience Recruiter” will yield,Office 2010 Pro 64 Bit (http://www.office2010key.ca/), what else,Office 2010 Professional 64 Bit (http://www.office2010key.ca/), my LinkedIn Profile : ). LinkedIn, Facebook and other sites can also be a powerful networking tool for acquiring in touch with the right recruiter. Feel free to add me, I’ll accept, I promise.
One additional note if you’re going this route: I’m sure some people may see this as too aggressive and some recruiters may really feel that way too, so it can be risky. Personally, I think it’s perfectly fine to reach out directly to a recruiter, provided you’ve also applied on the net and aren’t spamming or calling blindly. Just keep in mind that recruiters are busy people, and even this route, you won’t hear back immediately or always. What am I missing?: I’d love to hear from readers on this one.
