Most people cringe at the thought of cold calling to market themselves. However, cold calling remains an effective job search strategy. Monster.com Contributing Writer Carole Martin suggests writing a script for yourself to help you keep on track and to ease your nerves during a cold call. Your script should include a greeting, an introduction, a brief summary of your skills and accomplishments and a request for an interview. Try to shake the negative associations you have with cold calling by reminding yourself that you have a valuable service to offer. Your phone call could make someone's day by saving them the time it would take for them to search for someone with your talents.
