Contacting Recruiters
I received this question from a staff speechwriter: “I need to find another job. Is there value in simply sending my resume (unsolicited) to a list of executive recruiters?”
A respected recruiter shared this insight: “It can’t hurt … but it’s best not to expect too much from cold mass mailings. It’s always best to come in through a warm referral!”My advice to someone seeking a staff speechwriting job? Concentrate your time … target your energy. One “warm referral” is worth a thousand “cold resumes.”
