not necessarily. a few jobs ago we were looking to hire another position and gave the fax as the only method of contact. oh my fucking god licking popsicles on a merry go round. the fax machine was blown up. all day every damn day for two months it hummed off resumes. you need to realize that in today's job market there are few jobs and many many many candidates. hiring managers are swamped by piles of faxes and emails and shit... resumes normally don't get more than the cursory look before being thrown into a pile with the others. you need to do something to set yourself apart from the masses of assholes who want the same job you do. make yourself known. track down the hiring manager's number and call them. come in and hand them your resume yourself. let them know who you are and why you're the right one for the job. sometimes you'll get a callback from online job postings, but followthrough will increase your chances tenfold. remember - you need to make yourself stand out. it's the only way you're going to get employed.
