Thanks Guys,
212man, You're right, it's difficult to get away from what Stacy wrote because she hits a lot of very good key points, I just wanted to elaborate a little more and add my own points from my person experience. I agree with test scores, no one cares and adding that to a resume is fluff.
TC, I agree a face to face is critical for getting a foot in the door and a resume / CV is a follow up. But there are situations where a face to face isn't possible so I tend to call, find out who to send a resume to and then email it, I'll then follow up a week later to see if they got it and their thoughts. After that I'll then keep in touch from time to time to see how things are going and what the company is up to.
I appreciate the feedback guys, thank you!
Ross
