    I received a job offer over the phone for a position I accepted last Tuesday. HR followed up with an email confirming the offer and my acceptance, and the manager texted me the next day with more details about the role. They mentioned I would receive the official offer letter in HireTrue by Monday or Tuesday. Now it's Tuesday night, and I still haven't received the letter. I'm unsure whether to reach out to the manager via text or email HR, or if I should wait a bit longer. They were very communicative before, so I want to be tactful and not come off as pushy. I plan to follow the advice I saw online and send a follow-up email tomorrow morning to HR, copying the manager, expressing my eagerness to review the official offer letter.

    I have been on the job hunt for over a year now, primarily focusing on Social Services positions within state government and local nonprofits. Unfortunately, I've only received a handful of interviews, which has me questioning whether there's something wrong with my resume. I have a significant gap in my work history—about six years—so I understand that could be a factor. To make my application more appealing, I've been trying to highlight my experience working with international clients to demonstrate my ability to engage with diverse populations, as many job descriptions emphasize this. Additionally, I’m incorporating my English degree to showcase my archival skills and my previous role in Medical Administration, where I handled confidential documents and provided client support. Despite these efforts, the low number of interviews has me feeling stuck. I’m considering advice I’ve received about revising my resume structure, such as consolidating my teaching experience and potentially volunteering to gain more recent relevant experience. I’m eager to improve my application and would appreciate any feedback on how to better present my qualifications.
