Hi Chere,

Good for you! It’s amazing what kind of great results we can get by just going a little bit further/putting in a little more effort than the average applicant, isn’t it? People really do appreciate enthusiasm and persistence—in addition to skill, too, of course. 🙂

Thanks for commenting!
Nicki

Went to the company website, found the COO’s bio, got a personal factoid about how she liked red wine, but couldn’t get her email. So, I emailed the HR person and mentioned the COO and how I could help her pick out a good wine. I kept the email light, friendly, and personal. I did attach my resume and suggested they “poke around” my website when they had a minute.

The next day, I got an answer from the COO, who said my email was “fun to read”.. The HR person had forwarded my email to her, so now voila! I have the COO’s contact info and she already likes me. Although they just finished hiring some folks, she said she wanted to stay in touch and felt my skills would make me a perfect fit for their needs. Me, who has no 4 year degree, like most everyone else whose bio I read.
