Speculative Letter Writing
Discussion
I know writing letters is so last century but what are the thoughts of you guys here when it comes to putting together brief well thought out letters and attaching your CV and sending them to companies speculatively (after obtaining the name of an actual person to make it for the attention for rather than just sending it to "the company" blind)?
I am thinking of buying a wad of stamps window envelopes and some new ink cartridges and getting down and dirty with some letter writing (well typing).
Has anybody had a positive experience from doing the same?
Also the way I see it is that as far as the youngsters are concerned there is no way on earth you will catch them sending off speculative letters so that could get you an advantage over the myriads of sometimes waste of time faceless online applications.
Might send a few off as a tester and see what replies i get if any.
