I was a division manager of a public company, at one point in my life (for four years). Not all managers are the same, But for me: Skip the emoji, just tell the truth and ask for a decision. >Dear Sir, > > We discussed a job last xxxx and I left my resume with you. > > I know you were in the middle of renovations, So there would be some delay. I am hoping you have had a chance since then to review my resume, and can let me know if I am a good fit, or if I should pursue other opportunities. I am still interested in joining the team. > >Thanks in advance for your attention, > > legoMyEgo
