Lily had created a list of her ideal employers in her area, following the guidelines in Chapter 3. Even though she hadn’t seen job openings posted, she knew, through her research, that she could contribute greatly to these companies and would fit well with their culture. Using LinkedIn®, she found the name of a manager in the department where she would like to be hired. She went in person to
the office and asked to schedule a meeting with the manager. She casually asked the administrator what it was like working in the department, and she was excited to hear that several people had recently left the department. Although the jobs were expected to be filled internally, this was just the opportunity Lily was looking for. She was able to schedule the meeting and began to prepare to market herself effectively.
