What’s the best way to go about applying for Corp Dev / Strategy roles? Headhunters, company website listings, networking, etc? Would appreciate any insight!

Headhunters for sure and constantly look on LinkedIn. Do research on firms/industries you would want to join and reach out directly to the senior person. Teams vary from firm to firm and usually hire only when someone quits or there’s a change in strategy.

I no longer have access to the Microsoft bowl due to the change in work email address, so I thought I'd see if any Microsoft management (former or current) are in here. I'm looking to confirm that when potentially coming back on at Microsoft, the hiring manager will be able to see my previous connects. I had a great experience at Microsoft, and would like to keep that door open in my mind, though my last connect has what I would call unfair characterizations due to a unique chain of events.

Hi! I'm currently trying to move into the IT field and have been getting a few interviews for smaller tech companies, but I'm interested in applying to larger names like Google. Does anyone happen to know what hiring managers or recruiters may be looking for in a cover letter? Do they really read cover letters or are they just scanned through ATS systems? Should I be trying to match keywords from the job listing or go with a more personal approach? Any advice would be appreciated!
