Gmail Ninja
And to prove it, addition to linking my posts with hilarity and explanations, I am going to illustrate this one with the use of gmail emoticons.
Oh please, hold your applause!After the HBO
mailing
, I decided to 
blindly email where no one might have emailed before 
. And so, I searched the email addresses for every channel: from NBC to BET, from FX to The Food Network, from Showtime to the CW, from A&E to CNN.Then I went on and searched every network, production company, news station, talent agency, marketing firm, advertising video department, tv station, casting agency in the New York area for email addresses
.I changed my cover letter
to be as particular as possible for each one, and I sent out my resume.Sent it it like it's hot
.I then went to a seminar on getting a job in this economy
. Like it would help me. Or suddenly provide me with the answer. Perhaps a beacon of light would fall over the one email address I really needed to send to, or the answer would be sung to me by ghosts in my sleep (
oooooooooooooo marrrry
riiich oooooooooooooooo). Needless to say, it did none of the above and I still don't have a job. But they did open my eyes 
to another outlet. They said, anyone can 
email in a resume. It comes in as an 
attachment and unless you really grab their eyes, they are not going to open it. But when was the last time you were in an 
office? How often does the fax machine 
ring? Almost never. Who still sends faxes? Find the fax numbers in the office. Fax 
them your cover letter and resume. And when someone in the office hears the fax ring, theyll think: that's weird, whats this? And when they pick it up , they will be forced to read it to figure out what it is. Then you already have their attention.You can guess what I did next.
I found the fax numbers. I sent out my cover letter
and resume . I faxed like it was hot . (And when the paper spews out the other side, sometimes it is hot .)
