Job Prospecting Letter Sample!

Looking for a job that you want requires several prospecting techniques. One of these techniques includes a job prospecting letter.

One reason you need a letter is because you want to warm your target hiring manager or business owner up prior to cold calling them.

You might be thinking, ‘Why should I send a letter when I can simply go to a job site and submit my resume?’ The reason is because you might want to work somewhere that is not posting jobs online at the moment and in order to get a better shot at getting a job at this company you need to stay top of mind when they are looking for someone with your skills.

In this case you would send a letter. But you won’t send a job prospecting letter just once. You need to send a letter every two weeks or every month in order to keep in front of them. 

The other reason you should send a letter is because there might be a job opening you found online or somewhere else and you can send a print letter to the hiring manager in addition to using the contact mechanism or steps that are described on the website or job board.

You can either send a letter along with your resume. Or, what I have done is send a warm up letter, and then follow up with your resume.
