How do I get a contact within an HR Dept?

Question

I am a resume writer and have a good idea to gain more clients. If I could know who was just laid off at a company, I could mail/email them info on my services. The only problem is how in the world am I going to get that information? Surely, there is a way I just haven't thought of one yet. Any ideas?

Answer 1

No HR department would give you that info.  It breaks all kinds of privacy rights.

Try advertising on job sites or work search boards

Answer 2

~~Your best bet would be to send to the main address of the company and put "Attention: Human Resource Department. It would be much more professional to  mail it, than to email it anyway.~~

Answer 3

call companys in your area and ask for the hr dept. If its abig company tell them you work there and you need the # to hr
