 How to Create a List of Warm Contacts

Usually when you are looking for a job, you would ask for help from family and friends.  You would contact these people to ask for information on current job openings, business opportunities and tips.

Your family, relatives and friends belong to your warm contact list.  The warm contact list is the list of people with whom you have or had some personal association.  A former classmate, officemate or neighbor may belong to your warm contact list.

Who may be included in your warm contact list?  Here are a number of selections.

* Relatives and Friends

These people are always willing to help you in your job search or business venture.  They will be able to provide you information if they have some, or refer you to trustworthy people who will be able to help you.  If they will introduce you to some of their contacts, they can surely provide honest information to you regarding the person you are going to associate with.

* Members of the church, political party, social club or fraternity or sorority

One important move to break the pattern is trying to reverse patterns, designs or solutions and arouse new interest.  Take thing as they are and turn them inside out, upside down, or simply turn them around and you'll be surprised with the result.  This was Henry Ford's personal experience.  His conventional plan was to just "bring people to work."  He tried to change all this into: "bring work to the people."  This plan generated more revenues.

Another way to bring out other solutions to simple problems and situations is to not think about the subject.  If you want to bring about something more creative, think not of the part of the problem itself, rather, think of people or subjects in motion and then use the abstract formation or design as a stimulus for a new design.

But to think out of the box, never shy away from the fact that some of your ideas could really be crazy enough.  This could break rigidity of thinking and present a way to sift the harebrained and irrational.  This gives the thinker more freedom to think out of the box and reinvent things in way they have never been arranged before.  What you could do is list several odd or absurd ideas about a certain problem.

Choose reference that can provide the applicant an objective description and information, teachers, friends, and previous employers can be willing and honest enough to provide that information.  The application form must be consistent with the resume.  Since many of these employers standardize and gauge the information the applicant is providing in his application form and resume, these must be full of complete and honest information.  This will be their basis when considering to have a one on one interview to see if what they read is true enough.
