My Bio:
Upcoming 2015 graduate at a Non-Target majoring in Finance, with an economics minor (Sub 3.0 overall GPA). Landed Full-Time Fixed Income S&T role out of undergrad. I had previous internships at a global macro hedge fund, financial communications firm,equity research shop, and a 10 week Summer Analyst role at a European Investment Bank.
Using this strategy, I was able to obtain the names of certain HR employees within the organization. I was then able to guess their emails (a majority of emails are just [email protected]). I would then email the HR employee asking to set up a 5 minute phone call that week. It's all about getting your resume in front of the right people and building relationships.
I knew that my resume would never make it past the HR screenings, so I had to force my resume to be seen. I found the above email tactics to work successfully.
