<p>I am a recent graduate and started applying to jobs in late april and so far got only one interview,which I didn't hear back from. I don't know what I'm doing wrong when I can't find anything wrong with my resume.(have 3.66 engineering double major GPA with an yearlong internship experience).
However, in my desperate attempt to get a job I am thinking of emailing my resume to two engineers from two companies who interviewed me during my sophomore year for internships. I didn't get the internships but they both liked me and offered me feedback on my interviews.</p>
<p>Is it ok to email them my resume after two years as a graduate?</p>
<p>Many people do not like unsolicited applications/resumes, especially if they currently do not have openings. However, if you tailor your letter in the right way you may make a good enough impression so that when an opening comes up, they’ll think of you. I would talk about how you interviewed with them previously for an internship and had a favorable impression of the company through that experience. Let them know what you’ve been doing/accomplished since then, and ask that they keep you in mind should any openings come up that they feel you would be well suited for. </p>
<p>Or you could see if they are on LinkedIn, connect to them and send that same type of e-mail (but keep it brief). And search for other recruiters in that type of industry, as it’s their job to connect with and source as much good talent as they can.</p>
<p>girlengineer, I am just wondering why you started applying to jobs in late April. Most company recruiting is done in the Fall term which means Sept. thru Dec. Your problem is not your resume but your timing in applying for a full time job. I can see no harm in sending your resume to people that interviewed you in the past as long as you draft a nice cover letter to go with it. Best wished.</p>
<p>Yes, absolutely contact them, but as the others said do a brief cover letter or an email reminding them of the previous interviews. You might also ask them if they have any suggestions of other places you might be able to apply. Good luck!</p>
<p>I started applying later because I was unsure what I wanted to do after graduating. It may seem immature but honestly I didn’t know if I wanted to work right after. Now I am suffering the consequences of my actions because I am sitting at home with no money no job while all my colleagues are working.</p>
