Any advice on direct contacting hiring managers for a job you want? I get that in theory it’s the same as selling anything but for people who’ve done it before what did you do, and how did it work out?

As an in-house recruiter I take notice to candidates who care enough to do that. It’s a competitive market out there for employees. Standing out and showing persistence and resilience can be attractive.

Recently I had a candidate call, text and email me after I merely spoke with him over the phone. I finally said to myself, “ok, I gotta meet this kid...”.

If your persistence doesn’t stand out to a hiring manager/recruiter, that recruiter is out of tune with what matters.

Maybe I’m out of line for saying that, but persistence and resiliency matter. Failure is possibly the most important part of succeeding in life, and a person who sees it as a mere obstacle should stand out.
