Mind if I post these to a pseudo-private list of locals I'm on (as are many on your flist) and refer any interested applicants your way?

For people previously interested in such jobs, I would encourage them to apply through normal channels (so their resume is in the system) and then send the cover letter & resume they used to the person at the company who can ostensibly hand them to the hiring manager (or search committee depending on how they're deciding to handle these).

Would you be willing to do that if you know or were within a degree of separation of the person applying? Sometimes that personal touch of "here's someone I trust!" is enough to put them in a temp-to-hire situation. That's how I got my job there from 2002 - 2006.

It's one of the ways I've been helping shared peers out of work or in bad jobs get new ones.

Let me know if you're comfortable and I'll send it to the list - I may not get any responses.

You're very welcome indeed to post the listings elsewhere. However, this hiring manager emphatically and specifically will not accept paper duplicate resumes, or phone calls. Candidates should not do either if they want serious consideration.

I would tell them just to write the very best cover letter they possibly can (they can name drop me if they actually know me), and submit it in doc form with their resume when they apply on the website. Any other overtures in this case will hurt, not help.
