Out of the SHOEbox

The following four steps outline a more practical approach to “getting your foot in the door”…

1. Look up the company’s address (preferably the headquarters in the location of which you are applying).

2. Figure out who runs the show!

3. Send your resume and cover letter via first class mail (so that the addressee has to sign for it).

4. Find the company’s general email address and follow up.

I have actually received numerous responses using this approach!
