I’ve noticed a lot of career advisors lurking around the site, which is a smart move considering most of us in the club are appreciative of any help we can get.  So - life coaches, career counselors and HR experts, this post is for you…

After months of sending out resumes with no response, I got professional advice and a ‘resumakover’ (from contributors of the 405 such as Vicki Salemi and Gloria Schramm who works miracles) and I finally got a call to interview for a gig I was genuinely interested in landing a week later.

I believe that the interview went well.  My skills were a perfect fit for the job, my research on the company was appreciated and I discovered I had mutual acquaintances with the hiring managers.  Acquaintances who loved my work.

The Mistake:  I didn’t get the e-mail addresses of the people interviewing me and I couldn’t find their contact information online.  Since the 24 hour window of thank you letter sending time was almost up, I called the woman who brought me in to get them.  I entered the addresses on their respective e-mails (one of which was to her) and hit send.  I then left my laptop to run errands take a class on a skill that will further my career.  When I got back six hours later, I discovered that one of the e-mails had bounced back.

Pop quiz - what do you do?

Do I call the woman again?  She was the recipient of the letter that did not bounce back.  I don’t want to look incompetent or like a stalker, but I want to make sure the other person there receives the letter.  Especially because there was some good information in it which I forgot to mention in my interview!

So if you have been perusing the site looking for potential customers, this is your time to shine.  How would you handle this sticky situation (other than asking for cards and e-mails in the first place).  405ers, feel free to chime in with your advice too!
