I still can’t believe the number of emails I get that look like these:
Hey, I’m looking for a new job. Attached is my resume. Thanks!
Or
Hey man, I just lost my job last week
Can you pls forward my resume to your friends and colleagues? Thanks.
What would you do when you get messages like these? You would probably do one of these three things:
- Do nothing
- Blast his resume to your 200+ contacts
- Respond back to your friend asking him some basic questions
- What kind of jobs are you looking for?
- What kind of companies are you targeting?
- How should I introduce you to my colleagues and friends?
If your choice is #3, you are doing your friend a HUGE favor.
