Resume Sent

by Gregg Glassel

Hello, I emailed my resume when I applied to a job for a heavy duty mechanic listing. I haven't heard anything about whether it was received or not. I am interested in a position in Afghanistan for about 2 years or more but need to know what the next step is for me. How do I get hired? How do I know if they received my resume or not?

Dear Greg,
Generally when you submit a resume to a company they will automatically send you a confirmation letter to your email.
What company you applied to may have something to do with the way they respond to applications.
Dyncorp, KBR, ITT and Fluor all respond with a "Thank you for you interest"... type letter.
The follow up to your application as far as being notified of a hiring may take a very long time. I have said in recent posts that (As an example) KBR had in 2007 over 1/2 of a million applications on hand and a total of less than 60 thousand positions, most of them were active positions already, which meant 500,000 applications for a few hundred jobs.
Don't stop applying though, these are only 4 companies which are allotted contracts under Logcap. Also there are Companies based in Iraq which have many positions open to Expatriates.
Good luck.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. - Steve Jobs
