Supplementing transfer application with summer employment

Post by bceagles182 » Wed Mar 23, 2011 4:26 pm

I just accepted an offer to work at the DOJ in DC this summer. I'd like to supplement my (Early Action) GULC transfer app with this information since it is a very solid position, and it shows that I am relocating to the DC area (and thereby confirms my interest GULC). How should I go about doing this?

Write them a brief, one paragraph letter saying you would like to update your resume/application. Include division and brief statement of responsibilities (if known).

Agreed. Also, see if you can tie in a sentence or two about how this compliments/fits in with you specific interest/desire in transferring to Gtown. Definitely don't make the letter too long, though, or I think you risk it not being read.

Don't forget to actually attach an updated resume as a doc file. Otherwise, +1.
