Re: Job searching in this time of attrition....

[Steve Schwarzman <steve -at- writersbookmall -dot- com>]

Bobby, in addition to looking for posted jobs, also try contacting
companies/organizations that you'd like to work for. But don't call cold. Do
your research first. Find out what they do, what their docs look like, and
who's who. Then send an email offering specific assistance in solving a
particular problem you've identified to the relevant person. And then follow
up with a phone call. You might get an opening in the door in this way, by
offering to help solve a problem instead of asking for a job.

Hope this helps,
Steve Schwarzman
