What to send to company's that have "send your resume to x email we'd love to hear from you"

What do you include in the email? If they don't have a careers page with open positions to apply to, should I send my resume along with what I'm interested in pursuing (internship, part-time position to learn, full-time)?

Would love to hear from someone who actually landed a job this way. My impression is these inboxes are where resumes go to die. If you just want to throw a max number of applications at the wall and see what sticks, go for it. Otherwise if you've got a genuine interest in the firm, start looking for ways to reach out to people directly for networking.

 

Seems like your odds would be better by looking people up on LinkedIn and contacting them directly.
