Always attempt to contact the right party, don't waste time chatting with the receptionist, or individuals who are not directly repsonsible for hiring and that often is not the boss. So find out who that individual is. However, you can acquire a good deal of valuable information from secretaries, so don't overlook them.

But then you may get a kind cooperate one that just loves to rave about the boss, how wonderful working conditions are,etc. So take the chance a strike up a conversation. When you start, make certain this secretary has time to talk with you. Inquire if this is a good time to talk. Make sure you refer to that person by his or her name, and also, be honest.
