Call Support If You Want to Apply for a Job at a Tech Startup (or Any Other Company)
Even if there are no job advertisements in the company, this does not mean that you cannot find a job there. Sometimes you can step in by impressing someone in the customer service department.
If you have a great idea to help the company better serve its customers, the support team is always there for you. Muse suggests that this approach could be a great way to open the door for a company:
Start by expressing your loyalty to the company (think: you’ve always admired this startup, which is why you feel so strongly that a particular product or process should be improved). Then ask to be contacted with the right person for further discussion, but by no means mention your career interests.
Once you find the right person and explain your offers, there may be a conversation about employment. Then you say that you would like to work there. If this does not happen, then you already have a contact in the company. Now that you know the name of the person in that department, you can send them your resume and cover letter after the conversation.
