How do you add a person who recommended you for a job in the cover letter of a resume?

How do I email the hiring manager directly?

Send the email on a weekday, preferably between 7 am and 10 am. Address the Hiring Manager by name, if possible. It’s a great personal touch, and might convey that you’ve done your research. Do not include a full cover letter in the body of your email, unless instructed to do so.

Should you call hiring manager after applying?

Should I call Starbucks after applying?

The general manager is usually a good bet. You can try and call the stores you applied for and speak to the manager. Never take your resume in. You should physically show up to the store(s) you applied to around 10 or 11 am and try to introduce yourself to a manager or assistant manager.

How long does it take to hear back from a Starbucks application?
