This approach makes sense, but I suppose the onus is on us (ahem) to imagine what the company needs? Any company wants to save money, to increase efficiency, to grow. But some very specific needs, we can either find someone inside (networking) and pick their brain or try to imagine ourselves on the inside... Then it becomes a little more of a shot in the dark. Well, maybe the dusk, if we're good with our heads.
But perhaps just the step of presenting oneself as a problem-solver rather than as a hopeful will work wonders. Anyway, good post-- lots to think about.

Approach it imaginatively?
