The best was of letting a company know that you are interested in working with them is to work at the company as a temp.
In the 90-s, I was in love with a music company. The music they released to the public year after year was amazing. No matter what, this music company was going to be a part of my life. At the present time, I was working for a physical therapist. I made patient appointments and verified insurance for approval for treatment. One day two new patients came into the office. One was a music producer and one was an interior designer. Both patients worked for the music company that I wanted to work for. Yes, this is a small world and I was going to take advantage of it . I spoke to them about the company in their presence every chance I got. My insight on certain artists was on point. I needed to make an impression before their therapy sessions were to end.
The music producer had a lot of clout at the company. She could tell how determined I wanted to get in. She set up an interview for me. I worked for a few weeks as a temp in different divisions. Wherever I was placed, I gave it my all no matter what the task was. I wanted to show that I was interested in working for this company and that I was going to do the best job possible no matter where they placed me. I was hired as Publishing Coordinator for Special Products.
I took a huge chance and left my job to temp at a music company that was in my blood. I jumped in with both feet. It paid off.
I was exactly where I wanted to be.
