But I can guarantee you that these early stage startups do not have an HR director....or HR of any kind! For startups, you'll need to find a name of someone inside and then find a unique way to reach out them. Without knocking on the door in the middle of the day. Thanks for the comment and your advice!

The work from home contacts are awful. I have friends who get a lot of them through LinkedIn. You might try searching for companies in your area by the industry type you're interested in, then start stalking their websites for job postings.

Either send it in the mail, or make an appointment with HR director. Trust me - it annoys people to have to take time out of their busy schedule to find some awkward way to tell you to go away. Take it from someone who regularly turns people away - being persistent is good, being annoying is bad. Showing up unannouced is annoying. function sbmgOptinValidateForm386(name,email) { var name_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm386' + '_' + name); var email_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm386' + '_' + email); var reg = /^([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\@([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\.([A-Za-z]{2,4})$/; var msg = ''; if ( name_fld.value == '' ) msg = '- Name Required\n'; if ( reg.test(email_fld.value) == false ) msg += '- Valid Email Required'; if ( msg == '' ) return true; else alert(msg); return false; }

Yeah, most of the entrepreneurs I've talked to don't have the patience to go through the resumes that they would get through a Monster. For startups, small business, and when reaching out to crazy busy founders, you're better off going directly to them.
