Tips For Tomorrow, Following up a Job Application... Options

[Coomer]

Over the weekend I found what looks to be a great job for me. The job is to maintain and design a company's website and assist in the design documents for print and such. The company is a resort company located a little over an hour out of Yakima, so I'd be out of Yakima and 15 minutes away from the college that I plan to attend next year. There's a possibility that I might even get a place to stay at the resort since it mentions that relocation packages are available.

Anyway, I meet the minimum requirements for the job. The ad says that they'd prefer a bachelor's degree, but that at least three years of equivalent experience(which I have) would also work. I have a feeling that if I could convince them to have a look at my portfolio and interview me, that they'd be impressed and might offer me the job.

So anyway, yesterday I submitted my application online(I couldn't do it in person...online was all that was available.) In my cover letter to my resume, I commented that I would follow up within a couple days to answer any preliminary questions they may have.

So tomorrow,
I'm going to visit the resort and I think I'll ask if I can talk to the personel director. Once I do this, I plan to introduce myself, say that I applied online, and ask if they recieved my application and if there's anything else that they would like me to do. I plan to close up the conversation by letting them know that if there's anything they need, they can feel free to get a hold of me, and then I'll hand them one of my business cards.

I've got a nice dress shirt and nice Doc Martens shoes, and tonight I got some nice slacks and a nice belt, so I'll dress up for tomorrow. Any suggestions or tips for me before I go talk to them tomorrow?

Walk in there like you own the place, be a hard ass. it works everytime. I do it every where I go. Not like a cocky guy thatis all prissyed up an ****. Just walk in there with a stright face and be firm like you know what you want and your going to get it.

I thought your first post was a bad joke. Now I see you believe this type of attitude would be successful. Depending on who is behind the desk, that kind of attitude can get you kicked out on your a$$ faster than anything. I agree with the above comments that there is a difference between exhibiting a calm, energetic confidence and being "a hard ass" as you have recommended.
