<p>the work study job listings are finally up!</p>
<p>i have a question about the contacting-the-employer stage.
am i supposed to send a resume via email to the employer..?
if not, what kind of information should be included in the email.?
GPA? prior experience [which i have none]?</p>
<p>If you read my previous posts in other threads, I suggested that you do not email the supervisor yet. The reason is because some employees are too busy to read emails, and a call will reach the supervisor immediately. </p>
<p>My suggestion is to call the provided number (first make sure the position is still available), discuss the work you will do, and then send the resume/cover letter if requested (he/she will ask you to do so if needed).</p>
<p>If there is no contact number listed, THEN send an email (with resume attached) and hope for the best.</p>
<p>I made a mistake first year by sending mass generic emails to a lot of listings, and a lot didn't reply back. When they did, it was when the position was filled (since people called instead).</p>
