Cold-Skyping Alumni

Hi guys, I am looking to possibly make a lateral movement to another firm, and am trying to find new and creative ways to get my name and resume out there for the models and bottles one day. After spending the last 6 weeks compiling a database of alumni Skype usernames via Facebook stalking, I've finally gotten enough to launch my networking campaign.

So my question to you is this - what is your thoughts on cold-Skyping? Do you think alumni would think it's innovative for me to track down their Skype names and come at them virtually? Should I also try ChatRoulette and make my profile picture a PDF snapshot of my resume?

How about cold-texting?

Is this a fucking joke?

Edit: just saw your tag of troll posts. You scared me dude.

You're born, you take shit. You get out in the world, you take more shit. You climb a little higher, you take less shit. Till one day you're up in the rarefied atmosphere and you've forgotten what shit even looks like. Welcome to the layer cake, son.
 

This is a preeeeeeeeeeetty good troll, A- overall.
