Question: I am trying to apply for a job online and it only lists the contact as “human resources”– how to get a name?
I am trying to apply online for a job at Niche Media. The contact info listed is simply “Human Resources.” Argh. Niche Media is huuuge and encompases many different magazines, and I cannot track down a current HR name for anyone in the main NY office. I am not sure if calling is appropriate, and it’s a weekend anyway.

Is there a way to do this besides Googling? I don’t want to send a cover letter without addressing a real human. (Why would they even do that, anyway? Do they actually want us to say, Dear Human Resources? Or what?)

help please!

Answer by helloeveryone
i would follow thier on line directions and not worry about a name for that part.

You may wnat to consider sending a hard copy of your resume as well, and to do that it could be good to get a name. Call the receptionist monday morning and ask for the HR person for the area you are interested in.

You can also try to figure it out through google as you say, or through linkedin.com – they have millions of people on it, search under the company name as current employer, and try under HR and under recruiting.

Good Luck!

However, I can’t find it again, and it’s really bugging me! – “Tip of my tongue” all day!
No, not the Peter Principle – but in fact the Dilbert Principle. (When I searched for the Peter Principle Dilbert was a couple further down), so many thanks anyway – It’s been bugging me all day!
