PSA from an Alumni Interviewer

Now that your ED/EA applications have been sent, please check your spam folder regularly.

If I receive no response to my email, I will call you. I’m aware that you probably won’t answer an unknown number, but I will leave a message. So please set up your VM. While we’re at it, please ensure that your outgoing VM message is somewhat professional.

I will sign my email with my first name. That means it is OK (and for me, preferable) that you can use my first name. This will generally, hold true for other interviewers if they sign with just their first name. If they don’t, err on the side of formality. And if the gender is ambiguous, start your response with “Good Morning” or similar rather than risk misgendering.

If I don’t hear from you on either attempt, I will sadly need to move on.
