Job Application Protocol
I should know this, but...
Applied for a job online directly to the employing company on their website. I've determined (I think) who the head of recruitment of the company is, via LinkedIn. Too pushy to re-send my application directly to him? |
Re: Job Application Protocol
Not too pushy. Shows you're a tenacious old bugger. Good.

Re: Job Application Protocol
I wouldn't cold call with the CV again. I would just delete the email - better to invite him out for a nice warm latte.

Send it again. I read CVs I've had directly because they are normal looking emails before I look at the hoards of applicants. |

Oh, get them on the blower then.
Anyway, if you know who's doing the hiring, a polite little shout out to ask if they've gotten your details and here they are again in case not isn't a problem. |
Re: Job Application Protocol
Thanks all. Was just going to do it, only to discover that I'm only a 2nd degree (non) contact with the HR guy on LinkedIn, and can't get his email address. Searched the rest of the internet for it, including the company's website, and can't find it or the format they use. Could, of course, try every likely combination (somewhat complicated in that he uses an abbreviated first name).
Any suggestions how to find out what a company's email address structure is when their website and employees' details seem to be very well protected? |

If I were you, I would send him a linkedin invite - with a message saying that you are interested in a role and you would like to meet for coffee. Shows the same level of initiative and if he responds and you meet for a drink you will gain a lot more traction than punting in a CV to an unknown email address. I've just finished reviewing 300 CVs. I have 4 I'm willing to interview + 3 given to me that I 'must' interview. CVs, I would add, that I would have screened - such is the power of a coffee and a bit of initiative... |

Fred Smith might be [email protected] or [email protected] or [email protected] etc etc............. one of them will get through, and he probably won't notice that he was a 'bcc' recipient. My system at work doesn't highlight that. |
