WWYD - applying for jobs
in 9 to 5
I've recently applied for about 30 jobs. Wednesday night, my hotmail account was spammed and the password was changed and I still can't log in. (aside: windows live support SUCKS)
So, I'm obviously worried that I may have gotten emails sent to me about jobs that I can't see. I have no idea if Hotmail will fix the issue or when. DH thinks I should set up a new account and reapply for everything. My concern is that if someone sees your resume come across twice...will they think you are an idiot?
WWYD?
Re: WWYD - applying for jobs
I am surprised about your hotmail experience. Didn't you have it hooked up to another account to help with such a situation?
I too would fear looking like an idiot (my fax messed up and I swear that sending my resume half ass or several times is part of why I didn't get a call back).
Are you sending it to hope that they will contact you in another manner or to change your email address on the resume? They may not think of keeping the second one or looking for any changes, so that may not help your cause.
Could you send them or call them asking for a status or your application/resume and then add in new contact information there, noting that it has changed?
Yes, I did have a recovery email, but whoever hacked it changed that and my secret question answer.
Most of the jobs required me setting up an account on their site, so I guess I'll log in and change my email address on their site and hope that if they contact me it would be via phone anyway. I only actually corresponded with a few people and I think I remember their email addresses and would be able to email them directly from a new account.
I do part-time recruiting, and sometimes run across people who post their resume to several of our open positions. I've never run into an instance where someone applied twice to the same position, but I imagine it's similar to the ones who apply to more than one.
It doesn't make me think they're idiots - but it does give me the idea that they are very desperately seeking employment. This can sometimes lead to them not making as much money as they could, had they not seemed so desperate. I also remember those names more, maybe not necessarily for a good reason, but I remember them.
So I wouldn't say it would make you look like an idiot, but perhaps eager for a job maybe.
I agree with PP. First line of contact is going to be over phone, not email.
Good idea to change your email on the company log-in site for any future contact.
