Would it be inappropriate to email a job listing again after sending resume/cover letter?

Question

This is a job that I really want and am very qualified for. Would it be tacky/wrong to email them again to let them know how much I want this job...it's been almost a week since I sent them my cover letter/resume

Answer 1

A lot of employers look for people who take the initiative and follow up after sending in a resumé. If possible, you should call them (if you have a phone number and ask for the human relations or hiring department). If that's not possible, an email is okay. Be persistent, it often pays off.

Answer 2

Job seekers are suppose to put in their closing line on the cover letter that they would contact the employer within so many days to set up an interview.

Many resumes may go to the central HR dept, which weeds out, interviews, or distributes the resume to the correct dept.

If the resume was sent to someone directly, you may want to call the person rather than email him or her.

Answer 3

You should do a follow up call by phone. You just say "Hello, this is so and so, I sent my application and resume by email. I just wanted to make sure you received it and let you know that I am very interested in the position..." That type of thing. This will make you stand out from all of the other applicants online. Also make sure you ask to speak to the correct person. Good luck!

Answer 4

Absolutely not! Call them, unless they ask you not to, in which case, email them! I've known managers who've said they don't hire people who don't call or email them, because these people aren't as interested. Or something. I don't know. But, yeah, call or email them, saying something about wanting to answer any questions about your resume and maybe bringing up a key point or two about your qualifications.

Answer 5

Call them, Call them and Call them, if you want the job let them know. Keep it up untill they give you the job or they tell you there don't want you.
