Step 21: Target specific employers for job development

Using the Specific Employers list from the customized planning meeting as a guide, target a number (2 – 4 each week) of employers to be contacted. Develop a monthly plan for the number of employers to be contacted for each participant represented.


Step 22: Research each employer to be contacted

For each employer to be contacted, perform approximately 1 hour of research using the job development handout that addresses the content areas to be a covered. Look for connections and possible referrals for each targeted employer prior to making initial contact.


Step 23: Decide on contact strategy and make contacts

Plan the most appropriate/realistic strategy to be used to make the initial employer contact for purposes of making a presentation on CE – using a third party, informal contact, drop-in visit (if appropriate) or telephone.


Step 24: Present CE, perform employer needs analysis

For each successful initial contact, follow up with a presentation the concept of CE and introduce the job seeker using the visual resume. Seek to close the initial presentation with an offer to provide an employer needs analysis that will be used to negotiate the customized job description.
