Please do not email the CEO about jobs - it is not his/her role to recruit new employees.

Q. Why email the CEO?
A. The CEO is the Chief Executive Officer of the organisation. She/he is ultimately responsible for the day-to-day running of the organisation and the people who comprise it. He/she can make a difference by making decisions that others, in customer services, often cannot make because they are not empowered to do so. She/he also knows the best person to whom issues should be delegated, if necessary.

The key is to establish who is the most senior person within the organisation who has executive power: The power to execute actions and to ensure that they are correctly performed. These are the people who can make a difference to your consumer issue. A direct approach to the CEO, when necessary, can bypass "customer service" and the unwieldy procedures and processes that prevent your issue from being dealt with effectively.

It is worth remembering that top person in an organisation may have a title other than Chief Executive Officer, depending on the type of organisation and its geographical location.

Q. What titles might be used?
A. Here are some of the titles that might be used for the Chief Executive function:
