Some professional sources recommend that you not state individual goals or career objectives.

How often have you heard: "I sent out hundreds of resumes and have not heard back from any of them. They owe me altter or could at least call."

That motion could not be further from the truth and will not get the job seeker anywhere. The interviewer's only mission is to find the right person as soon as possible. The job seeker is owed nothing. Interviewers have mo moral or business courtesy obligation to acknowledge anything.

Keep in mund that the manager with whom you interviewed has at least a dozen other responsibilities on his or her plate. A follow up call and/or letter should not only remind that person that you spoke to but also what separate you from other candidates.

Follow up also demonstrates your interest and enthusiasim about working for that employer.

Such a small percentage of people actually follow up these days, that the candidates that really do, distinquish themselves from the rest of the pack.
