I saw a job ad online that also includes company’s HR person’s e-mail & phone #. I plan to apply online but am debating whether I should also email my resume to HR. I hope doing so will increase my chances of being noticed. Is that overkill or not?

I get your concern about it being overkill. But in this case, if the job posting included the HR person's email, it might not be a problem. I mean, if they posted the email address I assume that's for a reason, so people can contact them.

Good point!

Sounds like overkill to me. I wouldn't send an email to the contact right after applying because it just looks like you’re really desperate for the job. I'd just let your resume speak for itself. I have a friend who is always listed as the contact on job postings. He always says he doesn't like it when people contact him because 90% of the time, he has no say in the hiring process.

Thanks for your opinion

Maybe I’m in the wrong but if I’m trying to hire someone and they are showing constant interest with appropriate follow ups, that’s a big green flag for someone that’s going to give it their best. Will keep you in their sights for the current and future opportunities

I don't think there is any reason for you not to send your resume to the email addresss. If it was listed then I assume they expect people to send their resumes via emails.

My husband and I have saved up about $80K and it’s just sitting in our bank account. We thought we were going to buy a townhome but with the crazy inflated prices we decided not to since we like where we live currently (location could not be better and rent is crazy cheap at only $700 a month). How should we invest our money in the meantime while we save up for a house?
