Casting one's pearls

Has anybody ever got a job from sending out a speculative resume/CV?

I recently got a HUGE bite from a CareerBuilder listing I'd done about 8 months ago. Even if those job sites seem to spam you ridiculously, it worked for me. Don't know if y'all have an English equivalent.; 26 February, 2008 16:26

I just looked up places which I thought were doing work I would be interested in and sent them my CV and a blurb about why I thought I could do a good job working for them. So definitely give it a go!; 27 February, 2008 08:41

Now that I think about, asking about a resume/CV fits with it being a message to Coach. You know sports fans can have short memories when one loses to the in-state rival.; 27 February, 2008 21:13

(And I have a kinda secret thing on the side for Vandy men's b-ball - don't tell anyone!); 28 February, 2008 21:55
