Will this resume get me an entry level internship at an insurance agency? 3 comments
The internship is for a marketing/advertising position. I am a high school junior. I’ve left out of the resume that I am in my 14th year of dance classes and training, should I add that in? Let me know about how the overall resume is! Thanks for your time. =]

How long should you wait after a phone interview to follow up? 4 comments
Okay, here’s my situation. I applied for a job and had an initial phone interview with the recruiter. After not hearing from him for two weeks, I sent a follow-up email that resulted in another phone interview with the person who would be my boss. I then followed up with him 7 days later (and sent a thank you card immediately following the interview). After the follow-up, I was granted another telephone interview with someone who would be my colleague. Again, I overnighted the thank you note. My last phone interview was on Thursday; he received the thank you card on Friday. How long do I wait before following-up again? I feel the position and my experience are a perfect match, but it is a new position in a new department, so things are moving slowly. I want to make my interest in the position known, but do not want to seem overbearing. Thanks in advance for any advice. I know it was a lengthy explanation.
How to follow up on my application at Target? 4 comments
Hi, I recently applied at Target for a Sales Associate position with my exact availabilities (Nights & Weekends) and was wondering how I should proceed to follow up. I hear I should call but I don’t know what to say. By the way, I have two great references of my old jobs, one of my district supervisor and one of the owner of a medium business I worked for. Any specific tips would be great like what to say in a follow up phone call. Thanks.
