Department heads change very quickly so it is important to call to verify the above information .
Try to by-pass the Human Resource Department or send a resume to more than one department. It is best to e-mail or fax a resume to the Department Head or President of the company and then send a hard copy. One week after the resume is mailed , call the Head of the Department that you would be working under to make sure that your information was received and try to arrange a meeting. Always give a firm handshake upon arriving and leaving the interview. Find out when and how you can expect to hear about the decision of the employer before you leave the interview.
