Tracking Down Employer Through Fax Number

We recently performed a Google search on our Quintessential Careers fax number to prove a point. We advise job-seekers to follow up with employers after sending out their resume and cover letter, but sometimes ads and job postings provide only a fax number, so you don’t even know what company you’re writing to, let alone the name of the hiring manager. But if you try entering the fax number into Google, as we did, there’s a good chance the name of the company will come up (as it did for the QuintCareers fax number), enabling you to further research the name of the hiring manager. You can also try reverse phone lookup feature at a site such as AnyWho. Employers will likely admire your resourcefulness if you can tailor the letter to their organization when only a fax number appeared in the job posting.
