Bilingual Job Search Tips: Inquiring about Job Opportunities via E-Mail
September 23, 2009
Question: I have written my resume and know the type of work I want to pursue, and the two main companies I would like to work for. The first one has not advertised any job openings, but they are a strong company, and I know they are one of the largest employers in my area. I also know that they may have positions that need to be filled with bilingual candidates. What do I do?
Answer: Send an “inquiry e-mail”. This is an effective job search strategy. Don’t feel as though you’re wasting your time by looking for a job this way. Not all employers announce job openings to the general public. And if you wait until a job opening is advertised, then your resume might get lumped in with those of all the other eager candidates out there looking for a job! Next I’ll give you some tips for how to write your inquiry e-mail.
