The following is a former students testimonial to this assignment from Dr.professors online Sales course: Mrs. name I made huge strides with the job prospecting assignment. I received an offer from both companies I interviewed for. I wont give out details on the companies but these positions are coveted. I think a huge key for students to understand is that networking and meeting some of these people face to face will help the student out in the long run. The reason being is that whatever industry you want to be in people will switch companies jobs will become open and current employees will move into hiring roles. The key is to get familiar with as many people as you can and to leverage yourself out. With the medical company I interviewed with I was able to build a relationship with the VP of the Western region. He has helped me in many ways including offering me a job (unfortunately I am interning at another company for the Summer and the job requires relocation) and also reaching out to his friends at other companies to see if they are need of anyone. The big takeaway I got from both companies is how astonished they were when a student (still in school) went in for an interview. “We love the fact that you took the initiative even though you are still in school. Whether you accept this position right now. We have all of your information and you will be next on our list when youre ready.” Both companies said that it is very rare for someone to cold call and ask for an interview. This assignment shows initiative and that the student is hungry. Put yourself in their shoes. I know I would be all over a student (almost graduated) that is eager and willing to jump through hoops to get him or herself into the industry. Another takeaway that one of the hiring managers explained to me is that the person who they will likely offer is one of the first people that pop into their head. Dont be afraid get familiar go out for some casual coffee at first and build a relationship. Take this assignment seriously! I hope this helps.
