The advantage of this is that they may put in a good word for you or report more information than you might otherwise get, but it's asking them to do a little work so it depends on having a personal relationship. In other cases, I'd try to use contact information from the job advertisement, since inquiries sent there will generally make their way to someone whose job is answering them. | |
