I called her. Yes, I was thinking of sending her the handwritten note.

I am applying for a new position within the same organization that I am currently employed. My question is ... should I include a copy of my last review with my application or should I wait until or/if I get to interview? Btw ... my review is excellent! Thanks!

Vnicky, I'd include a copy of the glowing review. Or at least mention it in the resume. But then again, what do I know? I am part of the hordes of unemployed saps.. and I don't want to steer you wrong. Best of luck, hon!

Nic, hey, good luck, Sweetie! Yay on the previous review! It's smart of you to think of doing that, too. Here are my thoughts: I think that one kind of employee will review your application (HR folks)--just to ensure you qualify for the position. Don't know for sure how that all works in the next step. Can you just come out and ask HR if you were to place the review along with your resume in the paperwork required for the application process-- would the review be passed along to the interviewers? If passed along, then you're covered. And you wouldn't want to be seen as an 'overkill' candidate. If it will not be passed along, then DO take it to the interview. Sound reasonable to come out and ask how HR how that is handled?

That does sound reasonable HP ... thank you! And thank you Mameb! I know how our department handles it but, your right, I'm not sure how HR will process it. Very good question.

HELP! I'm turing in an application tomorrow and have the application filled out. Updated my resume to show my married name and a few new softwares that I have used. Nothing else was needed because I haven't worked since 2002. Was getting ready to hit print then I saw my objective. Interested in a progressive company where my past skills and experiences will allow me to build a career that will continue to challenge and educate me. Um, won't fit with this job as I basically am downgrading big time. And I'm not looking for a career. My previous jobs have been as an Office Manager at a college and a records clerk at an ammunition plant. The job I'm applying for is for receptionist at a Vet's office. Other than "I'm going stir crazy at home, playing with animals, the extra money, and the vet discount would be nice." I have no idea where to even start on an objective. Any ideas?

I'd write a "light" objective, since it's not truly a career path type job. If you want to stand out to those reading the applications, you might as well stand out big! Maybe something like: Seeking a position where I will have interaction with people who love their furry family members just as much as they do their non-furry! Something like that, anyways. I would defintely play up how much you enjoy animals in some way, as well as being interested in receptionist duties.

Take the objective out altogether! There are two schools of thought on this. One of them (the one I think is better actually) says that an objective may limit you. For what it's worth I have never used an objective on my resumes...

I would take out the objective. Although I do like the furry and non-furry one, LOL.

I left out the objective. Dropped it off when I took the kitties in for shots on Monday. Lady vet was all smiles and "oh good" when the vet tech said I was applying for the position. You could see her face change to a "forced" smile as she was reading my resume. Then looked at me and said I'm sorry the position has been filled. Vet tech told me as she was filling the syringes for the boys that the position was NOT filled and I must have had more qualifications than her friend that was applying. I just shrugged and said no big deal. She said yes it is a big deal and said she would talk to the other 2 vets. I talked to hubby about it and told him that if the other 2 vets decided to interview me I would go for the practice but don't think I would take the job. I don't want to work with a boss like that. I'm actually over qualified for the job but it's not about that for me. Since I don't really "have" to work - we are getting by - I want to work somewhere I "want" to work at and will enjoy. If that makes sense.
