Another way to find business emails is to determine how the company sets up the employee email addresses. The format is usually consistent throughout the company. For example, if a company uses the employee’s first initial, then the last name, it is easy to plug in other names. If jsmith@kraft.com is John Smith’s email address, it is logical to assume hjones@kraft.com is the correct email address for Harry Jones. I am in the process of compiling directories providing company email patterns. Using numerous company directories and internet resources, I have “cracked the code” that has enabled me to provide you with all the tools—company name and address, web site, phone number, products, and, most importantly, the company email pattern—necessary to make contacting potential candidates quick and easy. I have begun by compiling information for the food industry and the Midwest States is complete and will be available soon. My next directory will deal with chemicals and will include pharmaceutical, household cleaners, and cosmetics/personal care items. Eventually, I hope to make information relating to all manufacturing disciplines available. Please monitor my website for progress in each at
