How important is calling a perspective employer to follow up on a submitted resume?   3 comments

I am presently looking for work and have sent out A LOT of resumes. My wife insists that I do a follow up call for every one I submit. I say that they will call me if they are interested in my resume, and calling them would actually be a bother to them.

Is it ok to follow up with a company after you sent a resume? or is that rude?   3 comments

I have sent a few resumes through email and attached my cover letter and resume (the instructions said to email) and Im a little worried it might to the company’s junk maill, or that they might never see it.

Is it professional or a common practice for applicants to follow up with a company after sending the resume/application EVEN if you have not been contacted by them?

I was wondering if I contacted them on my own will after sending my resume, maybe it would show them I really want to work for them, I dont know, any employers or HR people who know about this stuff, please help! God Bless!
