Contacting a Program Director About a Job

Should you ever contact a program director by phone about a job? My answer: NO! Not unless it says so in the ad, even then I probably wouldn't. It's easy to email nowadays, and if the PD likes your stuff, they will contact you. It's like going out on that first date, if they like you, they WILL call! If they don't, you need to move on.

I would send an email (after seeing a job listing) to the PD with a resume and MP3 attached (with MP3 being no larger than 3MB). Write a simple email stating that you'd like the position. Don't write 3 pages. Keep it short and to the point.

Then, I'd suggest sending ONE follow up email, a week or so later.
