If you’re trying to get your first entry job, that’s not the time to be timid. Take a hint from SujataSetia, a freelance copywriter who spammed one employer so hard that it ended up landing her the job in her story at LinkedIn entitled "I Spammed her Inbox. She hired me." Why did it work? She never gave up and dared the employer to contact her to give her a mock assignment. The employer did, she aced the sample, and now she has a job. You can use the same techniques she used to get noticed too.

Get Your Name in Front of the Right People

Be the one hired out of many applicants after a flurry of new grad jobs applications have landed in the hiring manager’s inbox by getting noticed first. Spamming can be effective when looking for a fresh graduate job. You can send multiple job applications or requests for information, at different times. Here’s how to get your name noticed when it comes time to apply:

Multiple Resumes - If you sent it and got no reply, send it again. You can send it as many times as you think it takes to get a response.

Use Different Inboxes - You might see one for Human Resources (HR), another for a hiring manager, or a third on their website. You can send it to all three. It might be you don’t fit the job for the hiring manager, but HR still wants to talk to you. Try the chat feature on the website to ask about the status of your application.

Use Social Media - You can use LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter to send your resume to people who you think might be able to help you connect with someone who is hiring.

I never thought anything could make me say this. But that was exactly how I secured a job with one of the prominent banks in the country.

Though I believe if God didn't want it to be so, no matter how many mails you send, it won't lead you anywhere.

But the point is: explore boundaries and you'll realize possibilities are endless.

I never wrote an application, but I have a good job by sending an anonymous mail to a stranger I never knew.

You have to be good though to attempt this method. But in all it takes a lot of patience.

Tried it before and I got a response that there is embargo on employment in the org. Gonna try again this year, by God's grace latest by March, I am going to land a better job.

FP material...

Every body have his or her own way.

For me, spamming a potential employer is a no- no. I mean if you're really worth your salt, one resume is enough to convince an employer. If I were hiring and you spammed my mail box, chances are that it'd be treated as what it is - junk mail.
There are other means of standing out and young grads should explore them. Besides, spamming is a crime in some parts of the US and the UK.

Hmmmm

A well written resume tailored to meet the employer's needs as written in the job description. The mistake some grads make is to have a one-fit-all cv and that's why they hardly ever get called, savvy?

I think the idea behind spamming is to get noticed. Employers are usually inundated with CVs and getting them to even read your well-tailored CV may not be possible. #JustSaying

My posts don't make front page.

it sems many dont understand the spamming being used here .... you dont have to send every one hour.

Lol, its not desperation its perseverance fueled by zest. I spammed at least 20 different organisations with unique CVs each day till I couldn't keep tab of which and where I applied to. I only relied on google to determine the credibility of inviting firms from their email extensions. Mine didn't pay off but somehow I got the plum from the most unexpected event.
