I had an interview 3 weeks ago and have not heard anything. I sent thank you the day after the interview to the hiring manager who I interviewed with. Should I send an email to inquire on the status of the position? It is still listed on company website. Should I send email to hiring manager or recruiter who gave me first interview?

I was hired for a job but backed out because I got another. I email the person to let her know. She is offended because I didn’t call? What do you think? Was an email enough?
To be honest, I didn’t want to call because I was afraid she would be mad at me but I had another job offer and it was better. This job to do for her is housekeeping; the other is an office job that pays alot more.

Hi, just wondering. When emailing your resume/cover letter, is it okay to write your cover letter in the body of the email and attach your resume as a separate file, or should both the cover letter and resume be attached as separate files? If so, what should you write in the body of the email?

I am in Michigan and it is a tough, aggressive market. Unfortunately, there aren’t enough jobs to go around. I was thinking a week, but maybe 3 days instead? What is the protocol? I thought maybe I could send a followup email after 3 days, then call if I don’t hear? But if I call, how many days should I wait? Help!
I don’t want to come across as pusy, desperate, or aggressive. But, I do want them to remember me and to know I am interested.

If the employer does not specifiy how they would like you to send your resume, but they insist it should be done by email, do you put the cover letter in the body of the email and send the resume as an attachment? Or do you send both as an attachment? And should they be separate attachments?

I’m about to graduate from college with a B.S. in psychology and I’m looking for a job as a research assistant in a lab. Most professors don’t list these jobs on job search sites so I need to email them to find out if they’re hiring. Should I send my resume in my first email, or wait to see if they’re hiring? What kinds of things should I say? These may be people I want to work with down the road in graduate school, so I need to look very professional!

I am submitting my resume together with a cover letter online (not as a hard copy) as requested by the company. I am, however, wondering - do I need to sign the letter in this case and if so, how do I sign it? I scanned my signature and inserted in the letter, but is it appropriate? Should I just type my name and leave it unsigned?
