You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, it’s crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, not without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that?

"Get in contact with current employees at the company"

and draw the rest of the owl?

This blog is really missing the core question of what contact would be more effective than applying to the company's explicit job postings
