Word-of-mouth leads in Seattle - 7 weeks in

A friend who works at a local manufacturer says there are openings not advertised online. It has been weighing on me all week. One is a print shop, one is an accounting firm and one is a clinic. Does anyone have similar leads?

Keep a list of who you contacted and when. It makes follow-ups easy.

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