Introduce/Offer my time in exchange for On Job Traing?
How do I Introduce/Offer my time to potential employers in exchange for On The Job Training?
Hi,
Congratulations. You have the drive to be successful. I love this kind of an attitude.
To ask for this kind of exchange, what you need to do is identify what kind of job you really want to learn. Then, approach the companies that have the need for people to do the kind of work.
Before you approach these companies, prepare your resume and a cover letter. In the cover letter, explain your passion for the job and why you are willing to work for free.
Do you know anyone in these companies? Do you know someone who knows someone in those companies? If so, ask them to introduce you. Once you know the person working in the company, tell them that you want to work for the company for free. You just want to get the experience. Then ask them to give your resume and cover letter to the person in charge of hiring.
If you do not have any contacts, go to the companies you identified and ask to speak to the HR person.
When you meet the HR person, tell him/her that you want to work for the company for free and why. Then give them your resume and cover letter.
Be prepared to work from the bottom up though.
My first experience was working for a small accounting firm as the office boy. Basically, I did a lot of photocopying, filling and things they don't want to do.
Good luck in your job search.
Regards, Dax
