I've been told to find out the CFO's email and email them my resume ... what are people's thoughts

It does not hurt but ensure your email sounds like a cover letter. You need to inform him/her what role you want, why you would want to work in their company, and what you can bring to the company. You could also do the same with the company recruiters via LinkedIn. There is no one way or right way to find a job.

Now this is what I would do - I fast track people from linked in pretty often.

If it's a finance position, sure. But any CFO worth a grain of salt will probably just refer you to me in HR. Happens all the time.

Additional Posts in Interview Tips

Had my 2nd interview with the hiring manager this past Friday & sent a thank you shortly after. It's now Tuesday (for those who see this on another day). At the end of the interview he said they've had other people who were interested but only one other person besides me were they considering. Said he would talk to his team and possibly have me fly out to meet in person. How long should I wait to follow up without seeming pushy? Also welcome any other tips to separate me from other candidate.

Any tips on assessing if the hiring manager will be a good manager and person to work with?

I’d be hoping to learn a lot from them, as they would be pretty much be all of my day-to-day interactions and team. I’ve received an offer but have asked for another convo as I’m still unsure on culture, WLB and training etc as it’s a new team so no other people in comparable roles to talk to.
