In today's tough job market, is it enough to send your resume and wait for a response? Many experts are now recommending you follow-up after submitting a resume. The method for follow-up depends on how you first applied for the job. If you submitted your r??sum?? through a job board, you will need to find a contact in human resources to send your follow-up to. If you applied to a person, make
. sure you go back to that person. Once you have sent a follow-up note or email, stop. More than one contact will likely be viewed negatively and hurt your chances. Finally, if the job posting specifically states to not contact the hiring company, do not contact the hiring company. Failure to follow the instructions in the job posting is a guaranteed way to get your resume filed in the trash can.
