Email tips:

1. Using their Linkedin profile or resume (if they don’t have contact info) I find who their current employer is 
2. Then go to http://www.email-format.com/ and search for the company name in the “search for domain” field you will then get a list of possible email configurations such as first_last@company.com 
3. Search xpeerant and see what comes up
4. Once you have a formate you are sure about you can test the email to make sure it goes some where
5. Using http://verify-email.org/ you can verify the email address. You can try a couple of different formate if needed but you only have a certain amount of times before you’ll have to wait to do more.
6. Send off an email with the job info and get a placement (fingers crossed)
