The old resume taped to box of Dunkin Donuts trick
I found the perfect position in affiliate marketing here in the Clearwater, Fla. area this week and applied through Monster.com. I didn't hear back right away so I sent a message through the contact us page on their site. Then I sent a LinkedIn message to connect with the owner of the company.
And then it came to me. I had to shamelessly bribe them. So I delivered a box of a dozen glazed Dunkin Donuts to their office and taped my resume to the top. The CEO's Executive Asst. took the resume and thanked me for the donuts. She promised to hand deliver the resume to the boss.
Now I'm sitting back, waiting for the phone to ring.

It would be interesting to know how linked you are to the owner of the company- first level, second, third? Has the owner not responded to that message via LinkedIn. Has the message indeed been delivered? If the system's not working for you, wouldn't you have to ask just how linked you really are to this person? Of course, the owner might be slack in responding to the message.
Third. I used my best LinkedIn contact and now I'm waiting for the second person to forward the message. Hopefully, the process will work efficiently.
Let me know if Linkedin works - I've yet to meet anyone who actually has success with it.
Donuts: good idea. :)
The donuts worked. Interview Monday at 2 p.m.
