Searching for new opportunities
How to Ask Friends and Family for Job Search Assistance
Make your point.
People will be more willing to assist you if you tell them precisely what kind of job search assistance you need. Are you looking for work? Interviews for information?
New connections? Inform them of your expectations so that they can meet them.
Keep it brief.
Your letter should not be more than one page long. Everyone is pressed for time, therefore a concise letter is more likely to get read than a lengthier one. To make it simpler to read, you might even add bullet points or a list.
Please include your resume.
To give extra information to your friends and family, consider including your résumé to your letter or email. This will also help you to make your letter as brief as possible.
Send some handwritten letters.
Send personalized letters to specific friends or family members who you want to ask for a favor—perhaps they work at a firm you want to work for or have a contact you want to meet. This increases the likelihood that such folks will reply to you.
Please be patient.
It's difficult to remain patient while looking for work, but it's essential. Wait a few weeks, if not a month, before writing a brief follow-up email. In your email, state that you are still looking for work and would welcome any help. Avoid sounding irritated or annoyed.
Thank you.
Thank each individual who gives you assistance with your job hunt. Even if their advise was not extremely useful, you would want to thank them. Who knows when you'll need their professional guidance again? It is critical to maintain kindness and consideration. Also, remember to offer your assistance when someone you know is looking for a new job.
