How To Find Your Cover Letter Addressee

Instead of writing “To whom it may concern” on your next cover letter, think about addressing it to the hiring manager by name.

What if you’ve worked your network and asked everyone you know, and nobody knows who to send your letter to?

Pongo Resume suggests some low-tech solutions. Google…it may be as simple as looking for “company name” + “operations manager” (or the manager of whatever department the job is in).

If that doesn’t work, check company press releases, see if there’s a management bio page, or even just pick up the phone and call the company (that’s the most low-tech solution of all).
