No. I know guys who contacted a Global Head because he was an alumni and he forwarded their resumes to HR and they all got first round interviews. Good things come to those who seek them.
Good Luck.
Nah, I contacted an alum who was the President at a huge RE firm and he arranged an interview with HR. What have you got to lose ? Fortune favors the brave my friend.
