Quick Tip: Call Sales!

Whenever you need information from a company, and you really need it, call the sales department. In many cases they're best positioned to help you:

  1. They're in the business of giving out information and interacting with outsiders.

  2. They like talking to you -- you might be the only person they talk to during the day that genuinely wants to talk to them.

  3. They are well connected -- a good salesman knows how the company operates and who can help you.
One caveat: be professional. Assume that the details of your call will get back to your hiring manager. Make sure that will be a positive report.
