TUTORIAL: Did you get my email?
| The most aggravating aspect of any job search is the ambiguity of waiting for an update on your status. Did they like me? Did I answer their questions correctly? (Or worse yet...) Did they receive the updated resume I emailed to them last week? No way to know for sure, so you wait and wait, until now... If you use Microsoft Outlook, you have a way of tracking your emails. Well, at least you can tell if your resume was delivered, read and when. Would that prove useful to you? I thought it might. Let's look at this cool Outlook function step-by-step. |
| Step 1: Write your letter.
|
| Step 2: Click the "Options" tab and choose "Options..."
|
| Step 3: Under the section labeled "Voting and Tracking options," check Request a delivery receipt for this message and check Request a read receipt for this message.
|
| Step 4: Click the "Close" button and send your email as you would normally.
|
| Step 5: Watch your email for the following messages.
Once your email has been delivered, you will get an email that says this:
Your message To: Recruiter was delivered to the following recipient(s): Recruiter on 7/12/2005 1:50 PM Once your email is read, you will get an email that says this: Your message To: Recruiter was read on 8/04/2005 6:48 PM. |
| . And that is how you do that. Happy job hunting! |
