Hello. One of your long time friends under an anonymous handle for confidential reasons. Don't worry who it is, doesn't matter. :)
Hoping to make a job move very soon but need to keep things confidential as it would involve pursuing openings at a company I work closely with at my current company.
I have grown somewhat dissatisfied with current job and just need something new, bigger challenge and a big step forward in my career. Being underpaid by a decent chunk doesn't help, and the anticipation that my next salary increase won't help much at all doesn't sit well.
I've wanted to pursue a position with this company for some time, and coincidently found openings of interest on a creative jobs board.
I am thinking it would be best to write to one of my contacts there through a personal e-mail address and let them know I'm interested in their openings. I could apply on line, but I figure that my existing relationship with them could bring me along a bit quicker in the process. As a client of their services working in the industry they serve, I feel that I am very desirable to them as a potential employee.
I'm sure some of you have been in the same spot before when looking to make a job move. Any advice? Is my direction above the right way to go? I trust my contacts there, however, there's always that fear of things slipping out and biting you.
Thanks for anything you can offer. I am excited about taking a chance at this, once all is said and done and if I get a new job I will for sure let you know from my actual screen name.
