Maybe you should.
Sending resumes out from Melbourne won't cause a CP to prioritise you and fall over him / herself to speak with you when there are many others with the gumption to turn up and present themselves personally. NT operators commonly get 50 - 100 resumes per week by e-mail.
Mr.Bear, I'd be more than happy to knock on the front door and buy the lad a few beers. However I would like to have a civilized talk to the CP over the phone to discuss some matters. As previously mentioned above, been over 3 weeks with no reply. Yes I do understand CP's are busy, but out of professional courtesy, please send an email back stating whether you have progressed to the next stage or have been unsuccessful in this instance.
I love KingRB's idea of mailing a hard copy of the documents. But is it generally a bad idea
