Dropping off Resumes - Suggestions?

Post Reply New Topic

Since I am currently looking for a job, here are some suggestions I got from my University advisor:

Drop of your resume and a cover letter in person when possible. Dress nice, you never know when you may get an instant interview.

Ask ahead of time who to address the cover letter to.

In your resume and cover letter, list what makes you different and what your specific job duties were. Employers read a lot a resumes and everyone will put "reliable" or "hard working".

Write a thank you letter if you get an interview.

Two words. Identity thieves.
Even though your home computer may not be protected, it's best if you go to a library or employment center.

personal transactions should not be done on public computers. Submit your resume online from your home computer.

Alex, thanks. To me that makes more sense than risking using a public computer. Only thing is some people don't have a PC. Do employers get upset about handwritten applications? (assuming the writing is neat).
