How to convince companies that
you are a "perfect fit"

    • Follow company news.
    • What have the executives been up to?
    • What recent changes at the company make you particularly attractive? Finds a "hole" that you can fit.
    • Why size/industry/geography etc. fits you.
    • Make sure resume is compatible with position.
    • "Selective name dropping" to distinguish yourself from peers.
    • Make sure you have a few very thoughtful questions always prepared.
    • Networking is not just for jobs with their company. Executives have a lot of connections.
