Jobs at small Providence companies nobody posts about - 7 months and counting

A friend who works at a local manufacturer says there are openings not advertised online. I do not usually post, so bear with me. They like a brief email with a résumé. Does anyone have similar leads?

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

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 7 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
