Hello,
So a bit about me: I'm a recent liberal arts graduate from a fairly prestigious school in NYC. My GPA is not great however and in particular my work experience is rather lackluster. Consequently, my resume leaves a bit to be desired.
I've never been fired from a job but most of my experience is in restaurants, having worked as a prep chef and as a server. All of my time at these jobs has been fairly short as I've only taken them on as summer jobs or during the school semester to make a bit of money and then quit them to go back home for the summer or back to school. I believe I have worthwhile soft skills and skills that don't translate well on paper, but not much to really distinguish me in terms of hard achievements or technical skills.
I recently found a job opening at a local mushroom company however which really stood out to me. I had developed an interest in mushrooms and mycology several months ago and since then it has become one of my strongest interests. The more I read about the company and went over the job description, the more perfect it seemed for me. In numerous ways I felt that it would be a job that I would not only enjoy but also excel at and be a valuable contribution to. There are very very few jobs that I've felt this way about.
The application said to submit my resume and a short introduction explaining who you are and why you're interested in the position. I feel I may have overdone it with the introduction perhaps as it ended up being a whole page in Google Docs but I went into my academic history and recent interest in mycology and I basically made the case for myself, talking about how interested I am in the company and how I would be a worthwhile addition to the team. I thought that at the least I would be contacted for an interview but it's been two weeks now and no word.
How do I proceed from here? Did I potentially come on too hard in my introduction? What is a good way to follow up? Any advice is greatly appreciated, TIA.
TL,DR: Applied to "dream" job with a weak resume/work experience but a strong, albeit long email introduction of myself. No contact after 2 weeks, how should I proceed?
