LETTER 4-2: NETWORKING—AGRICULTURE

Ms. Annabelle Tisi
President
Economic Forecasting Association
350 North Wacker
Chicago, IL 09876

Dear Ms. Tisi:
As a 10-year member of the EFA, I am writing with the hope that
our organization might assist me in my job search.
I am an experienced agricultural economist, with a specialty in soy
and soy by-products, seeking employment in either the private or
public sector. I realize, of course, that I am not alone in my quest.
However, as a prolific author, I can offer my employer a very high
level of positive visibility within the industry.
Ms. Tisi, I would appreciate any advice you can offer. Does EFA,
for example, maintain a job bank? Do you run a referral service?
Perhaps you or an associate know of someone with whom I might
speak for additional advice.
I would welcome any suggestions you can offer. Along with my Make it easy
resume and a list of my published works, I’ve enclosed a stamped, for the reader
self-addressed envelope in case there are any EFA materials you
can send to me. To make matters even easier for you, I will plan to to comply.
call you next week.
For your interest and assistance, I am deeply grateful.
Your fellow member,

Anthony Amend
