may or may not have an advertised position but definitely has a working relationship with the current company one is currrently employed with ? If it makes a difference it's the construction industry.

It is NOT unprofessional! What if this could be your dream job or makes life alot better for you?
But. it may not be the right way to go about it. You'll never know till you try though. Sometimes I get unsolicited resumes across my desk and they go right in the trash, sometimes they go into a file for future consideration, and sometimes it leads right to a phone call. That being said, I always look closer at resumes that come from referals, or from co-workers, and of course when we are advertising.
Good Luck!!!

I say go for it Lois !
If you know they know about your interest...then just send the resume to the attention of the person you were in contact with.
My hubby has been allll over the industry and it's gettting to the point that everyone knows everyone and it's all pretty good.
If you decide to move on to another job - just be sure to give some decent notice like 2 weeks at least and don't burn the bridges - this way if anything ever happens you don't find yourself screwed or with bad references.
Hey one thing to keep in mind is this... what kind of computer policy and privacy do they have? Hubby's current job has some pretty amazing programs where they can pull up the emails and the websites where their employees surf and how much and when the surf.
This new place could impact your 360 play time if they are very strict and have those sorts of programs to "Spy" or "Watch" their employees computer activities.

Are we working hard or what? ;) Wink wink! LOL

You can always send a resume, but if the company doesn't have an advertised position that you're actively applying for, chances are pretty good that your resume will immediately be placed in the circular file. I'd personally only bother sending a resume if you're applying for an actual job; saves you the time and effort, and they don't have to go to the trouble of throwing it away. Notice, if you put your resume online like on Monster.com, you only get contacted by people actively seeking employees, not folks who might have an opening in the future.

There's nothing wrong wiht it. Depending on their policy though, it may just end up in the trash. For best results send it exactly to the right person who would be doing the hiring. Even better, with your colleague's permission you can mention "Mrs Smith (colleague) in your company's (new company) recieving department suggested I contact you regarding the possibilities openings in your ___ division".

Actually, it is a good idea. My sister-in-law got a better job that way.
