I found this article about follwing up with employers using just email.
Elizabeth Lyon said this about Email Followup-
“I suggest getting your conversations, applications and resumes out of e-mail and becoming a person. After you submit your resume,pick up the phone and talk to a manager directly. While engineers may not be natural sales people, this is a critical step into activelystarting a job search rather than being a passive candidate who continues to get rejected.
In the world of e-mail, it’s easy to forget what a professional business relationship looks like and how to develop one. As a job seeker, you’re not out-of-line to call an employer and ask if they’ve received your resume. While you’re at it, ask about their hiring process and the steps involved. You’re not asking for an interview….”
I agree with what she says that Job seekers need to get out there and call, go see the employer, and network. Most people rely on email way to much, and the results are unknowns. Emails get lost in cyberspace and employers have a really high chance that they won’t respond to your email.
