I applied for a job that I really want and haven%26#039;t heard anything back. Two weeks have gone by and I was wondering if I should send a follow up letter? If so what kind of letter should I send?
Thanks,
EO
What kind of letter should I write to follow up with a company that I have already applied to?
If you have a contact at the company you applied to, I would call. It has been my experience that maintaining a professional relationship with your contacts before and after interviews will really help in getting that second interview. I usually tried to call every two weeks to see where I stand.
If you want to send a letter, I would send a %26quot;thank you for interviewing me, this is why I am best fit for this position, I%26#039;m really interested in this career...%26quot; you get the point. I would send it sooner than later. If they%26#039;re interviewing other candidates, you want to make sure you are always near the front of the line in terms of who they think of first (which is why I prefer to call... repeatedly, but not to the point of being annoying).
It%26#039;s a fine line, and it depends a lot on what company, and who interviewed you. Try to be professional, and at the same time, try and network as much as possible.
What kind of letter should I write to follow up with a company that I have already applied to?
I would send a follow up letter and simply state that I was checking on the interview to see if the company was nearing a decision yet. If you haven%26#039;t gotten an interview, then I would ask if interviews are planned.

I received a check and letter from S.F. Inc for a Mystery Shopper for $4998.00. I saw someone else had 5 days
Is S.F. Inc a legitimate company? If so, why can%26#039;t I get the check cashed anywhere? Does anybody know? The number I have is with a 416 area code.

SCAM! If you deposit this check, the people that sent it will rape your checking account.

So were you a mystery shopper for this company? If not, it%26#039;s probably a scam. You cash the check, they collect the amount back plus an exorbitant amount of interest.
I Googled it and came up with this:
There were four banks with alerts posted on BOL%26#039;s Alerts %26amp; Counterfeits page involving some type of scam associated with counterfeit cashier%26#039;s checks this past month. Comanche National Bank reports that counterfeit cashier%26#039;s checks are being presented for payment nationwide in connection with a mystery shopping scam. Items presented to date have been made payable in the amount of $4,998, and include the name of S.F., INC. The checks contain a fictitious bank telephone number that originates in Canada and correspondence accompanying the counterfeit checks may contain the letterhead of Shopping Feedback, Inc. It informs the recipient that he or she has been pre-selected to represent the company as a secret shopper, stating that the enclosed cashier%26#039;s check is to be used to purchase merchandise at various nationally known merchants as well as to transfer money using a nationally known wire service. The funds to be spent at each location are broken down with a specific dollar amount and then the rest of the money is to be kept for payment for the mystery shopper service. Butte State Bank also reports counterfeit cashier%26#039;s checks in circulation associated with a mystery shopper scam. Rabobank reports counterfeit items associated with online purchase overpayment scams as well as a variety of up-front payment scams. Items presented to date have included the name of Jennifer Smith as the remitter. In addition, Firstbank reports counterfeit cashier%26#039;s checks associated with a fraudulent class action settlement.
SCARY!!!
Reply:Maybe because the check is not an actual check. It could be a marketing scam to get you interested in mystery shopping. Those checks are considered junk mail.
Reply:Many companys make checks that look legitament so you end up calling them and they try to sell you their product. Unless you are an employee with them, nobody is going to send you free money in the mail. If that is the case, it is probably connected with a scam.
Reply:Don%26#039;t cash it
it is no good
Reply:These are scams, hoaxes , illegitimate claims out to rob you. You know why it is less than $5,000? Because if it was $5,000 or more, it would fall over into the FELONY category .
Mystery shoppers receive cash rewards of like $3.98 or free samples. Too make any money you have to do it like a thousand times in less than 30 days, plus you are using your own money. They only reimburse you around 1/3 or less. Seriously .
Reply:It%26#039;s a scam. 416 is a toronto area code here is how it may work...
The scam might work this way: People respond to an ad looking for a mystery shopper or a secret shopper. When they contact the company about the position, they are told they can earn money by purchasing items at different stores or dining at different restaurants. The company then sends an employment packet. The packet includes business evaluation forms, a training assignment, and a cashier%26#039;s check, often ranging between $2,000 and $4,000. The training assignment is to cash the check, pose as a customer, and wire the money to an address in Canada. The scam is that the check is fake. The check bounces after the person wires the money, leaving the person liable for the fake check. People who apply for the secret shopper or mystery shopper jobs are told by the company that they have only 48 hours to complete the assignment or they will lose the job.
Reply:This is a notorious fraud and the check is bogus. If you attempt to cash or deposit the check, you are in deep trouble. It is illegal to attempt to deposit/cash a counterfeit check! You%26#039;re lucky they didn%26#039;t call the cops the first time you tried to cash it or you could still be in jail.
Reply:no one makes that kind of money as a mystery shopper - did you even do any assignments - seems like it would have to be at least 200 assignmentd to make anywhere near that much

Meaning of cost of sales in accountancy?
cost of sales is the expense incurred to produce or purchase the finished product
Meaning of cost of sales in accountancy?
The direct costs attributable to the production of the goods sold by a company. This amount includes the cost of the materials used in creating the good along with the direct labor costs used to produce the good. It excludes indirect expenses such as distribution costs and sales force costs. COGS appears on the income statement and can be deducted from revenue to calculate a company%26#039;s gross margin.
Also referred to as %26quot;cost of sales%26quot;.
Investopedia Says:
COGS is the costs that go into creating the products that a company sells; therefore, the only costs included in the measure are those that are directly tied to the production of the products. For example, the COGS for an automaker would include the material costs for the parts that go into making the car along with the labor costs used to put the car together. The cost of sending the cars to dealerships and the cost of the labor used to sell the car would be excluded.
The exact costs included in the COGS calculation will differ from one type of business to another.
The cost of goods attributed to a company%26#039;s products are expensed as the company sells these goods. There are several ways to calculate COGS but one of the more basic ways is to start with the beginning inventory for the period and add the total amount of purchases made during the period then deducting the ending inventory. This calculation gives the total amount of inventory or, more specifically, the cost of this inventory, sold by the company during the period. Therefore, if a company starts with $10 million in inventory, makes $2 million in purchases and ends the period with $9 million in inventory, the company%26#039;s cost of goods for the period would be $3 million ($10 million + $2 million - $9 million).
