through the hundreds of applications they might receive for each job they advertise.
One way to get past finding your resume in the junk folder of the hiring managers you've emailed is to take another approach to try to get your foot in the door. Consider finding some decision makers in your chosen field and contact them to ask for help. Tell them you're a recent graduate and are trying to get your foot in the door. Don't ask for a job, but request their help.Ask who they'd suggest speaking with in your industry who might open some doors for you.People generally like to help other people even if it means simply pointing you in the direction of someone else who can help you further. If you're lucky, you'll find someone who remembers how difficult it was when

they were searching for their first job and will be willing to give you some advice.Look for professional organizations or trade groups that represent your profession who might offer some advice, too.Don't forget to utilize your college or university's placement center as well. Any job search advice they can provide might be just what you need to get your foot in the door.The more avenues you pursue, the better your chances of getting a job.Carl Mueller is an Internet entrepreneur and professional recruiter who has written an ebook for career-minded individuals: http://www.RecruiterSecretsRevealed.com
