Replies JennyColada Posted at 12:29 am on Sep. 25, 2008 I put a little introductory message in front of my email explaining who I am (my age, where I live, etc.) as well as where I found the ad and any additional information. I thank them for their time, etc. Just sending the resume, although informational, could just be confusing, and most people do not appreciate having resumes shoved in their face. Sending a nice little "hello, I am..." just seems more professional. Lady Catastrophic Posted at 12:56 pm on Sep. 24, 2008 Just email them. It's easy to get a job on that. hotsaucii princess Posted at 12:55 pm on Sep. 24, 2008 write a note..i w2as doing this yesterday Narfled the Garthok Posted at 12:54 pm on Sep. 24, 2008 Cover Letter/Resume is your best option.
