First, I haven't worked in 4 years and I know that's kind of a problem. Anyway here is my question.
I found a fairly new company that is local and in my industry (travel) and have been keeping an eye on their job listings. I used to work with the person listed as a the HR contact and though I can't remember exactly, I think the relationship was at least neutral.
I just saw a job posting that is perfect for me (mostly). But now instead of listing the jobs directly on their website they direct you to Monster.com to apply electronically. They do provide an email link directly to HR - the person I know.
Is it bad for me to use that email link to send a note to the person I know, express my interest in the job and attach my resume? or send the note and ask if I can forward the resume directly or if they prefer I go through Monster?
Or would it be better for me to apply through Monster and send a follow up email to the HR person I know?
I prefer to send this info along directly (the first option) but if this is improper business etiquette, I will do the 2nd route. I'm not very good at cover letters so if I can make it a personal one to the HR person that would be so much better.
Or if there are any other suggestions how I can get my resume seen, I'm open. Thanks.
