Requesting an Interview?

[allybear]

Hi everyone! I'm a new grad looking for a job in a very competitive metropolis of a major city. I had an externship last summer but never really discussed working with them in the future (I could kick myself now, I was shy to bring up the topic then). I haven't really kept in contact with the manager, but I know they liked me. My question is... Is it appropriate to send a cover letter with my resume requesting an interview for a position on the floor directly to the manager? I have her contact info and have applied to jobs on the floor but am afraid my application got lost in the sea of applications hospitals around here get for each position. What would you do... mail, email, phone call? Thanks in advance :)

I totally understand you. Your situation is very similar to mine.

Be daring and send your resume and cover letter to the manager. They will remember you, and if a position is available...you will be considered I am sure!

I would apply to the floor (or a floor you have interest in) through the company website. If you had a good relationship with the manager, send her a friendly e-mail reminding them of your time on the floor, thanking her again for the pleasant experience you had and mentioning that you've applied for positions within the facility. The worst that can happen is they won't reply. It never hurts to reach out to someone!

Good luck!
