HOW TO FIND COMPANY CONTACTS
Did you write down the name of the employer you met with at a recent career event but forget to ask for their contact information? It is time to use your research skills. Here are 3 ways to locate a company contact:
- Handshake I Search the company's name in the Handshake search bar and navigate to the company's Handshake page. Search the page for the Contact List. Some companies list a general contact email and phone number, while others include a specific recruiter's name and contact information. See if there is a contact listed who matches the person you met with.
