If you did have a specific question to ask them, then I would include it, but make sure it is something they can answer fairly quickly, otherwise I wouldn't both. Keep it short, polite and not too 'gushy' if you see what I mean.<br /><br />The best you can hope for then is behind the scenes, they will forward your email to their recruiter and say 'liked this guy/gal, keep an eye out for their app for me.' If I get that message, generally I will put them forward for interview as they obviously made an impression.<br /><br />This means you might not necessarily hear back directly from them, but you are leveraging the relationship you developed behind the scenes. I do get emails like this reasonably frequently after events from our line representatives.<br /><br />With regard to the contact details of the graduate recruitment officer in particular, I would probably do something similar - drop them an email to say you enjoyed the event and have applied / intend on applying shortly. Again, hopefully if things went well, they will keep an eye out for your application, but they are most unlikely to take any immediate action that you will notice.<br /><br />GRgraduate_recruiterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13840074092824964873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8952016583182584776.post-53231089131094026192010-10-19T04:41:26.862-07:002010-10-19T04:41:26.862-07:00Hello,

I was really impressed by the firm and would love to work there.<br /><br />At the event I received a business card from an executive who did not have enough time to answer my question. One of the graduate recruitemnt officer also gave me and a friend her email address. I am unsure about how to utilise these contacts to help my application. I would really appreciate your advice on the issue.<br /><br />Regards,<br />KAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09844567246005041250noreply@blogger.com
