Setting Up Appointments When you Need a Career Change

The key is to job hunt smarter not harder. There is no point spending all day applying to over 50 companies and get so frustrated at the end of the day because non of the employers have responded to your applications.

Don't join the rat race. Many are called but few are chosen. Why join the many when you can be among the few chosen ones without joining the crowd.

A bird at hand is better than 10,000 in the forest. You can always use that one bird to catch the many thousands in the forest because birds of the same feather flock together.

The same applies to the job market. Why apply for the thousands of jobs on job boards when you can use a contact person to attract or be introduced to many other key contacts that could help you attain the job you are looking for.

For example, if you want to start a career in project management, start networking among your friends. There must be someone you know who knows a project manager. Build rapport and create a network ladder to get to your main contact person.

Once you have established contact, you can try using this appointment generating email:

Hi Steve,

Thanks for taking my call earlier today. In relation to our conversation, Sally mentioned you were the best person to speak to in regards to starting a career in project management.

Your reputation precedes you and I feel I have much to learn from you. This is clearly obvious just by looking at your outstanding record of proven achievement within the field of successfully managing global projects.

Please find attached a quick summary my resume / CV. It explains and details what I have been doing and how it can be of benefit to you and your department.

I am available for a meeting on either:

Tuesday the 9th of Jan

Wednesday the 17th of Jan

Thursday the 25th of Jan

Which day will suit you or do you have a more suitable time?

Kind regards

James Thomas
