Seeding

- Hi I am Ms. nobody, calling  to follow up on my resume with Mr./Ms. somebody.
- Sure let me connect you
-This is Mr./Ms. somebody's voice-male. Please leave a message!

And I know this is a dead end...He is not going to return my call but I won't give up. That's a Law of Seed :D

I must admit the hardest part of finding job is "the following up" section. You are as a total stranger calling to another stranger to talk about your resume. You don't want to look annoying or desperate. A friend of mine pushed me to follow up my resume few days ago which totally put me out of my comfort zone. But that's a good sign. If you are out of your comfort zone it means you are making progress. It shows something has changed for you. I need to practice being out of my cosy zone. I didn't realize how much I made myself comfortable at home during last two years of long distance study. Things are about to change...

Bonjour Hiva,

Glad to hear that. Life means stress but stress is good for you, it is the essential of life (unless you are a civil servant, sure).

If you are unsure how to proceed, just buy a good book on the subject. There are mistakes to be avoided.

Hi George,

Thanks, I borrowed some books from the library. very useful. I do notice if they say "don't call" I won't.
