<p>Just wondering.. I am looking into the physical side of commodity trading and I have an aunt (dad's sister) who's pretty high up at one of the big oils. However, she's in Government and International affairs and not trading. </p>
<p>This big oil does not do OCR at Michigan so i would have to depend on online application. Would it still be advantageous to ask her to drop my resume to HR? Or should I submit the resume online and have her give HR a call to take a look at my resume? How should I approach this situation? </p>
<p>My dad is really close with her but I am not. In fact, I think she doesn't like me that much due to the fact that I completely ignored all her dinner requests when I was in Houston last summer because I was working late most nights. Should I go through my dad or should I contact her directly? Should I flat out ask her to see if she could pull some strings, or should I be subtle? Is it too early in my career to milk the relationship?</p>
<p>Any advice would help.</p>
