I started by finding out the name of the hiring contact, calling them directly and announcing I would send them my resume. He kept it on file and I'd check back about once a month to see how business was and to keep me in mind. I felt 'bugging' them was the quickest way to have my resume thrown in the trash. I received a phone call one day from Mr Guidry, MWD Manager at the OKC office. After a long conversation, we set up an in-office interview on my next days off. Very professional and didn't seem phased that I was a female applying for a predominately male position.
