There is a very scientific and innovation-based company I recently heard about that I really want to apply to but I don't know how to approach it.

Posted by Hotkiss (aka hotkiss7348) Sep 2 '09, 14:19

This company is at the forefront of some great plastic technologies. For the first time, I want to work for someone not for the money or prestige but because I very much believe in the goodness of their cause.

However, they are based in Germany (but has a USA station in Andover), isn't that big (not tiny either), and I imagine that even if hiring they would want engineers or scientists.

Should I even attempt to write a cold approach cover letter? How can I play up my business background to this innovations company?

TIA everyone

- I haven't started seriously applying yet but of course I will do this before proceeding. Also, they're not hiring, I just want to appeal to them. -- nm - Hotkiss Sep 2, 14:22 3
  - maybe you want to think this through a little more? what do you see yourself doing there long term? -- nm - loosilu Sep 2, 14:23 2
    - like I said I haven't started doing anything yet mostly because I'm not sure if I can make a solid case for myself -- nm - Hotkiss Sep 2, 14:24 1
      - give it a shot, the worst they can do is say "no thanks" -- nm - crash davis Sep 2, 14:28
