Change in resume

[Phoebecaulfield]

Hey everyone. 

 

Do you think it's wise to contact the programs to which I applied for an English MA in order to let them know about a new job on my resume? Ordinarily I wouldn't bother, because I doubt the resume is a big factor in their decision, but the job is an internship at a big publisher, an academic publisher, nonetheless. 

 

Still can't determine whether it's a significant enough addition to my application to warrant bothering the admissions office over it. 

 

Thanks for your feedback!

 

Bonus question: This is a stupid question, I know this is a stupid question, please don't point out how dumb this question is: I followed my top choice program on Twitter and they followed me back, could this is any possible way affect my application outcome in a positive way?

First question:  I wouldn't contact them to update the resume.  I would bring a resume with any interviews or mention your internship in any communication you might have.  

Your bonus question:  I don't think it has any affect unless you tweet something stupid and then I think it would be negative, maybe if they knew you were applying and could figure it out.

I got publications in between and mentioned it. I just emailed and said that I would like to inform them of a recent publication and look forward to hearing from them.
