The way to identify the "RIGHT PERSON" is to find the person within one of your targeted companies who would be either your boss or your boss’s boss! Let’s assume this person’s title is Accounting Manager because you are seeking a position as an Auditor. Many times you can find contact names on the company website. Many executives also have extensive profiles on various Social Networks. You need to learn how to navigate the Internet to find the individuals you are targeting.
If you don’t have the name, you call into the targeted company and ask for the "correct spelling" of their Accounting Manager’s name. When you ask for the correct spelling the receptionist assumes you already have the name and that you are just clarifying the spelling and she spells their name for you. You also want to confirm the contact's exact title. If the gatekeeper is being cooperative you might also ask for their direct line, so that you have this information for your follow up call.
Often job seekers speak with an uncooperative gatekeeper who will not give out information. Here is an important fact to remember: Gatekeepers typically go to lunch between 1 - 2 p.m. During that time, there is an Administrative Assistant who is covering the front desk and may not be happy to be filling in for the Receptionist. Often they will give out the information without asking any questions. Be nice to the gatekeeper and they will be more receptive to your call.
When you are in a job search, you need to use any and all resources to help you obtain interviews. This approach helps you target specific companies and hiring authorities and needs both your time and focus.
