How To Use A Firm Like DNN

• If you are job hunting, you should connect with a Search Consultant or send your resume to them:
  

  Different Search Consultants know about different positions. They do not usually know about the same ones. This is particularly true firms handling retained search assignments. By sending your resume out widely, you will be placed in many different confidential databases and be alerted of many different positions. If you send your resume to only a few, it may be that none you send to will be working with positions which are suited for you. Many search firms follow people throughout their careers and enjoy being kept up-to-date. It is a good idea to have your resume formatted in plain text so you can copy and paste it into email messages when requested to do so. Then, follow up with a nicely formatted copy on paper by postal mail.
