Jobs at small Knoxville companies nobody posts about (Knoxville)

I asked around at a community meeting and got three leads. Thank you in advance. They like a brief email with a résumé. Should I visit in person?

Visiting in person worked for a trades job. For office jobs, email was better.

A short email with two sentences about what you can do and your résumé attached worked for me. I followed up after a week.
