What's the best way to reach out to a company that doesn't have posted roles that you want, but their site says to e-mail them? Is it just a simple "Hi, my name is ____, I have xyz background and I'm looking for this role? Here's my resume" type of deal or is there more to it? Instead of saying the type of role, would you instead go over the skills you have and ask to chat about where you may fit in?

Add why you like the company and why you think you're a good fit. I always go the route of informational interview (I'd love to hear more about the company and the team and your experience there) over asking about roles. People love to talk about themselves!! Good luck.

I recently interviewed with Natwest and I got confirmation that they wanted to offer a role. Salary negotiations were started.

He expects to resume the hiring for the role in Q1 '23 and would resume the process then. So is it the end? Honestly, I don't expect him to come back. But what do you think?

As realtors, our worst and best friend are the contractors, being friends with the contractor that remodelled a home you are going to sell is a plus because you can know for sure what kind of improvements were made to the house and why; and what kind of things are pending to be improved, that way you can provide real information to the client. You know what they say: a happy client always comes back to you.
