The job market shifts very rapidly, and it is worthwhile to recontact the organization on a regular basis. Again, if done politely, this effort will demonstrate your initiative and interest to an employer. Do not depend on your resume or written credentials to obtain the kind of work you want. It is very difficult for an employer to hire a person based on paper alone. Sending your resume without any follow-up is not likely to produce success.
Personal contact is essential in effective job hunting.
