A company I’m following posted an opening for an executive level position. This exec will be leading a brand new team that the company is building out.
I suspect that their will be lower level openings soon after the exec is hired.
What is the best way ask about this non-existent job?
My current responsibilities match the new team needs.
Should I reach out to recruiters on Linkedin?
Should I reach out to the VP who posted the opening? If so how? Should I mail my resume addressed to him at their office? He prob won’t see my LinkedIn message to him
