    you should call the company you’d want to work for regardless of whether or not they are advertising a position, find the personnel department, and ask about a position.

    ugh it is SO annoying when people do that but i do understand it’s a viable tactic. it definitely won’t work tho with some companies.

    I believe Mopar meant you should call the company you’d want to work for regardless of whether or not they are advertising a position, find the personnel department, and ask about a position. That’s not a bad tactic, in my opinion. The worst they can say is “no,” and at best, you could stumble onto a company that just happens to want what you have, and may not have even had time to advertise the position. At least by cold-calling (in a relative sense) you usually get a quick answer.
