Advice from my search experience

1. Call after sending the resume, ensure your application is received properly or advertisement is active
2. Do not mix up the between the fields of expertise or interests, always concentrate in one field of interest
3. Try to know about the company business and call randomly whether they are hiring or not.
4. Always reply back quickly after interview/initial contact
5. Volunteer for relevant professional associations/conferences
