When building a professional network, having access to a contact’s work email is essential for effective communication. CareerOS is designed to simplify this process by automatically searching for work emails as soon as you add a new contact to your list. Here’s a quick guide on how CareerOS handles email discovery and some additional tips for finding work emails if they’re not immediately available.

How CareerOS Automatically Finds Work Emails

1. Automatic Email Search: When you add a new contact to CareerOS, the platform instantly begins searching for their work email. This automatic process saves you time and effort, letting you focus on building connections rather than searching for contact details.
2. What Happens If No Email Is Found?
   • If CareerOS is unable to locate a work email for a contact, you won't see it in your contact view. In this case, the contact’s profile will be saved without an email address.
   • You can still add the contact and manage their information within CareerOS.

Alternative Methods for Email Discovery

While CareerOS simplifies finding contact information, there may be cases where you need to find the email address manually. Here are some recommended tools for further email discovery:

• Hunter.io: Hunter.io is a popular email-finding tool that allows you to locate verified work emails by entering the contact’s company domain or LinkedIn profile. This can be useful if CareerOS didn’t locate the email on its first try.
• Clearbit: Clearbit provides robust data on professionals and companies, allowing you to locate email addresses and other contact details. It’s ideal for building a more complete contact profile.

Additional Tips for Finding Contact Emails

• Company Websites: Often, companies list their employees’ contact information on their “About” or “Team” pages. Checking these sections can be helpful for finding professional email addresses.
• Social Media: LinkedIn and Twitter profiles sometimes contain email addresses in the “Contact” section. Just remember to use discretion and maintain professionalism when reaching out.

FAQs

• Does CareerOS update emails if they become available later?
  • Currently, CareerOS only conducts the initial email search when a contact is first added. If you manually update or discover a new email, you can edit the contact profile within CareerOS.
• Can I manually add an email address in CareerOS if I find it elsewhere?
  • Yes! You can manually add or update email addresses for any contact by clicking on their profile and selecting the Edit option.

Using these tools and tips, you can confidently build a robust contact list within CareerOS, helping you stay connected with industry professionals and advance your career journey effectively.
