How to make the?

For those of you non-target who networked your way into Ibanking? How did you make your ask to have your resume passed to HR? Did you send them an email and if I send them an email and they don't respond how long should I wait before calling them up? How did you go about asking them to have your resume passed on?

Thanks

Well I'm not in Ibanking, but I am @ a BB from a non-target. I'll tell you right now.. submitting resumes via bank website almost never works. Worked ONCE for me, so I can't say don't do it. Just don't commit all of your time to that. I probably applied about 1000 times (no joke) to jobs on bank websites so I'm batting .01%.

-Recruiters (Robert Half, Addecco, etc) -School/Fraternity Alumni - cold email/call -Albourne Village (website) -Linkedin -Indeed -Craigslist

Those are most of my job websites that I utilize. Also, why Ibanking? I'm telling you right now it's infinitely harder to get a job out of the gate in Ibanking if you're at a non-target. I'd suggest going for a BB or Boutique first.
