Visit Employers to Find a Job and
Open Up 80% More Opportunities

It's true that up to 80% of job vacancies aren't advertised. Employers simply don't have the budget to advertise every job so most are only advertised internally. But it's still possible to find out about these jobs and apply for them.

We've already covered 9 tips to help you land a job through a personal visit. Here we talk about the possible outcomes of your visit to find a job.

Find A Job In Person -- The Possible Outcomes

If the answer is yes, there are several options:

You might be:

1. Invited to speak to someone else
2. Given an application form
3. Asked to send your CV or resume to Mr or Mrs X, the Manager

If the answer is 1), great. Here's your chance to make that first great impression.

If it's 2) or 3), follow the instructions.

If you have your CV or resume with you, leave a copy with the person you spoke to if it seems convenient, and send another (or the job application form) with a tailored cover letter when you get back home. Mention that you visited them and thank the person who spoke to you for their time.

If you're sending another CV or resume, just add "I'm enclosing a further copy of my resume, should you need one". This way you can be sure the right person got it!
