Hi Darrell,
I just listened to you on Blog Talk Radio’s “Career Catalyst” and I really enjoyed your advice. I’m slightly shy so I especially appreciated the specifics you shared about crafting an approach letter as part the backdoor job search strategy.

Thank you so much!
Best,
Tracy M.

Dear Mr. Gurney,
I just listened to your CareerCatylst talk on “Backdoor Approach for Non-Traditional Career”. Thanks for sharing your insights, it was encouraging to hear your success stories and to affirm the Networking & Informational Interviewing approach that I’ve been using.
Thank you,
Wen
