Just now i called my potential employer about career opportunities and she ask me to send her a resume. I was stupid enough to ask whether a cover letter is needed and she said it would be better if i send one. So I sent my resume along with a cover letter via email. In my cover letter I stated that I'll call back to explore any career opportunities with them, so when I should call back and what should i ask or say??? I'm very sure that her company has opening because I was referred to her by my friend and what i know from my friend is she is facing an issue that the company might be taken over by a foreign investor so she dare not take in anyone at the moment even though they are short of people because it might affect their work permit in the future. The deal might be finalized in April and how can i use this situation to my advantage??

i think u should do follow up calls to show your enthusiasm and really looking forward to work for that company... that is what i did back then, but make sure it isn't too regularly...
it becomes annoying maybe.. n make sure u show ur diplomatic conversation skill through the phone calls..
Good luck

Some quick tips.
When the ask for your resume, mail it. Email it if they request it, but you know how easy it is to delete emails. Call a week later.
If you get an interview, Always follow up with a short "Thank you" letter. and do it as soon as you get home. you want them to get it whle they stilll remember you.
The magc question? Where is the line between showing them you're interested and being a pain in the $$$,
Be a pain in the $$$ if need be. It shows persistance.
If on the phone and they say, there are no openings, ask if it's OK if you call back in a month.
Good luck. Hang tough!

Call them one week after your last call, and state that you're interested in a position there. After that, wait two weeks, and if they stlil don't call you, call back and bring up your mutual friend.
You don't want to harass them by any means. Be patient, because these things take time.
