As part of The Five O'Clock Club methodology, we encourage job seekers to make direct contact to get meetings, not to just answer ads online (if answering ads gets you meetings, that's great, but other methods tend to have less competition).
One of the people I am working with received a phone call for an interview after sending a cover letter and resume directly to the employer. After scheduling the interview, she was asked to complete an online application. This candidate had already completed the online application, but it wasn't noticed - the personalized cover letter caught the employer's attention and resulted in an interview!
Take the time and make the effort to reach out directly to potential contacts - the results will be worth it!
