Actually incredibly true. I’m batting 1000 over my entire career because of it. I hear about jobs from people I know, get in contact with the team / hiring manager directly. By the time I’m actually emailing a PDF of my resume it’s already a formality.

I’ve gotten hired twice for positions that didn’t even exist when I started the process. Let me tell you it’s real easy when there are no other applicants.
