Yeap. Being on the employed side of things now, I've had acquaintances reach out to me with questions about the company/work/culture and ask me to pass their resume along. It's only a few minutes of my time and people are quite appreciative of it, so I'm always happy to help out.
- mandytolliver 13y agoThanks. For some of these companies, I don't know anyone. Would you just cold-email someone, even if you didn't have any acquaintances there?
- rodrodrod 13y agoI wouldn't, for the most part. Not saying that it would or wouldn't work out, but I don't feel comfortable with doing that. Going through friends who might know someone there could help, as that way you wouldn't be a complete stranger. The only instances where I might do so is if I know someone there with which we share the same background (e.g. same college) which provides some sort of common ground. I've only ever cold e-mailed recruiters (or some job listing e-mail), which is pretty much expected.
