Pro tip: I quit applying to jobs cold and started emailing one person at each place instead
Honestly for like 8 months I was blasting my resume at every listing on the big job boards and getting nothing back, maybe 2 callbacks out of 60 apps. Last month a guy I know from my old kitchen in Columbus told me to stop doing that and just find one real person at each spot, like the hiring manager or a lead cook, and send them a short note asking about the job. I sent 5 of those emails and 3 wrote back, and I got an interview at a spot in Cleveland within 10 days. It felt weird and slow at first but the hit rate was night and day. Has anyone else had luck going straight to a person instead of the application portal, and how do you find the right name without it feeling creepy?
