I saw the position listed in the newspaper and since the email address had blurred ink, I went to their website to get the email address confirmed. I wrote to both emails listed and explained why I wasn't using the one in the paper. The receptionist wrote me within the week and I had an interview the following week. I had two interviews: first with the president and second with the office manager and was hired at the end of that interview in person by the president. I was later told that it impressed all of them that I did further research to find a usable email address.
