After submitting a résumé by mail, how long should you wait before following up with an employer?
a. 1 dayb. 2-3 daysc. 1 weekd. 2 weeks

Respuesta :

After submitting a resume by mail, you should wait one week before following up with an employer. It is necessary to give ample time for the resume to make it in the mail and a chance for the company or individual to review your resume. It typically takes 2-3 business days for an item to travel by mail so calling 1 day later or 2-3 is likely too soon whereas, 2 weeks may be too long.

The option c is correct.

We would wait for 1-2 weeks before following up with the employer.

Further Explanation:

Resume: A resume is brief information of a person’s education, previous experience, and qualifications to send along with job application. After the submission of the resume by the person through the mail, he should hold for at least 1 week before following up with the employer.

Justification for the correct and incorrect answer:

a.

1 day: This option is incorrect.

The follow with the employer should not be done after one day because it might be possible the recruiter has not seen the mail.

b.

2-3 days: This option is incorrect.  

The person should wait more than 2-3 days because if the recruiter is waiting for the other applicants, then it might be possible, he may not have examined your application.

c.

1 week: This option is correct.

After the submission of the resume by the person through the mail, he should hold for at least 1 week before following up with the employer because it gives enough time to the recruiter to review your resume and make a decision.

d.

2 weeks: This option is incorrect.  

The period of 2 weeks is too long because the recruiter might have viewed your application and you are not accepted for it.
