Go the extra Mile!

In the resume, let them know your promise. This is how you will keep the lines of communication open. It tells your reader what you will do next. Are you going to call him/her? Will you be meeting again? Whatever you are going to do, make it is specific and time oriented, and make sure you follow up exactly how and when you say you will. Another good idea is to drop off the resume in person unless it specifically says not too. This gives you a chance to introduce yourself. Personally, I think it is a good idea to follow up with the reader. A phone call a week after the job is closed, to show a personal interest in the position.
