Here's what happens when a friend of a friend (ex vp of marketing for macromedia) decides to help you... vs emailing your resume to the blackhole of HR. It's ALL ABOUT NETWORKING...

hey Tony - I'll definitely pass your info along to my
friends Michelle and Kristil and try to get you in
with the hiring mgr (who I don't know, unfortunately,
but they do).

And you might be able to return the favor quicker than
you'd imagine - what's the deal with the ofoto vp
mktg? why are you leaving, how do you feel about the
company, is that a good job? all the usual questions
: )

will keep you posted on next steps if I can find a way
for you to follow-up directly, which will be my goal.
