Agreed with all points, except one. In today's internet world, many job posters are kept "confidential". So, outside of the job description, you have no idea who the hiring manager is, much less the name of the company. If one has the company name, it's usually fairly simple to find the HR person.
So, is the general advice here that one should not bother with "confidential" postings?

Very nice video with some useful tips. As a current job seeker, though, I always wonder who is still able to actually talk to a HR official or the Hiring Manager? I am usually not able to talk to anyone except a voicemail recorder, and in today's world it seems no longer the case that phone calls from job seekers are returned. I will continue to call and talk to a black box in the hope that someone at least listens to my message.

Very nice video with some very useful tips. As a job seeker I wonder, though, if anyone is actually ever able to talk to a human being – either a HR person or the Hiring Manager? I usually get a voicemail and even though I leave a message with contact information, it no longer seems the norm in today's economy that phone calls are returned. So while the idea of talking to the Hiring Manager sounds good, in my experience it is not realistic to ever talk to a human being at the company where I would like to work.
