I got my current job by reaching out to the head partner of a firm in my industry and saying, “I saw that you have a posting for a litigator. I am not a litigator, but please keep me in mind if you’re ever in the market for a transactional attorney.” He asked for my resume and we met for coffee. He reached out to a mutual colleague and that colleague spoke highly of me. Then we had one more informal chat and he offered me a job without a formal interview.
It’s how I got my job where I’ve been for 10 years.
Thank you for your feedback! Gives me at least a glimmer of hope.
I haven't had any success doing it, but I still do it. The way I see it, I don't really have anything to lose. There is no harm in sending it and hoping for a response back.
