Finally wrote down a counterintuitive approach that I’ve been using since 2008 to find every job in my own career—without wasting countless hours applying online, sending resumes, or talking to random recruiters… Most of those jobs weren’t even posted. I’ve taught the approach to 100s of folks in tech, who’ve had similar results. Hopefully people find it useful.
I’m not super sure about the conversation approach. I myself would definitely prefer a straightforward “r u hiring” than spending some minutes talking on the phone.
But I agree that I could use it in text format too. So maybe I can discuss the company with them first and then ask for a reference later.

This is the best I’ve read. Backed by years of experience. Thank you.
