Fellow HISTARCHers:
As the summer field season approaches I have received
several vitae and resumes via email from persons wanting
employment with my consulting firm. Most were addressed to
"To whom it may concern" and were obviously the product of a
mass emailing.
Is the emailing of inquiries and qualifications now the
standard for our profession? Is this a method we are
actively encouraging at our graduate schools? Does "To whom
it may concern" render you receptive to an inquirer?
