It's good to let your friends know you're in the job market. But after a month, they forget you. If they haven't heard from you, they assume you've found something. If you haven't, remind them. The best reminder letter I ever saw was in the form of a newsletter. The job candidate, a CPA, sent a monthly humor- and anecdote-filled newsletter to all his friends and supporters. It was well written and great fun. There was only one problem. He was employed after only two months, so the newsletter ended.

Dear Craig,
I'm writing to remind you that I am still in the job market.
I'm seeking a job that involves modifying technical products and equipment in the field to meet customer specifications.
This job could be called something like:
- Field Engineer
- Sales Engineer
- Service Sales Engineer
- Field Applications Engineer, or
- Product Troubleshooter
The chemical, industrial controls and instrumentation, water treatment, hazardous waste, machinery and manufacturing, sales/marketing, construction and materials handling industries would appeal to me.
I have created a non-oilfield resume that focuses on sales and marketing. Please review it and pass it along to anyone who might be looking for someone with my talents.
Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated.
Your friend,
Tom Jacob
