Mass Mailing
What exactly does one include? Resume, cover letter, transcript, writing sample? Email or snail mail? It might be too late for this, but I am about to give it a try.

Re: Mass Mailing
Um, not sure why you would ever send a writing sample. Just wait on that, no need to show them that unless they ask for one. It's very rare that firms ever do.

Re: Mass Mailing
I attached cover letter, resume, and unofficial transcript. This method got me a couple bites (not claiming causation, assholes).dood wrote:disagree. simple is better, 4 sentence cover letter in email, attach resume.Anonymous User wrote:All 4 of those.

Re: Mass Mailing
My 4 attachment approach netted me 3 callbacks and 1 lunch resulting in a callback. On these callbacks many had read my writing sample and asked legit questions about it, or asked about specific things in my cover letter. Best to include the transcript up front because they will just ask for it later anyways.
My efforts netted me 0 offers, though, so enjoy the grain of salt.

Re: Mass Mailing
I sent some with the cover letter attached and some with the cover letter as the e-mail itself; seems like I had better luck with the latter method.

Re: Mass Mailing
I just spammed a bunch of recruiting coordinators with a cover letter in the body of the email and attached my resume. So far the only responses I got were telling me to apply through their website.
