They're the ones who get traction.
things happen for them.
It has a funny way of knocking at the doors of those who are prepared for it.
Some people do get a lot of interview activity.
But not because they're lucky.
Probably the most significant factor when it comes to whether or not a person's candidacy is going to go anywhere is the "inside connection.
If you need to hire a contractor, which person are you more likely to call.
Not only will they provide you with some names, but they'll give you background information and you'll be able to ask questions.
Same goes for the job search.
Think about the last time you were trying to fill a position.
the blind submission, or one that a colleague forwards to you?
Which candidate's email are you more likely to follow up with.
But if you're going up against someone who's forged some kind of personal connection to the hiring manager (even if his qualifications aren't quite as strong), you'll lose every time.
You may not know anybody there.
Ask your network for help.
A friend of a friend or an acquaintance of a colleague.
keep looking until you find that connection.
Your resume will almost certainly be read, which of course means you'll have a much better shot at an interview.
