How to follow up?

[gordonma]

So I got my offer and accepted way back in early October for a pretty large firm in NJ. On about the 14th of Oct., they said to expect a letter in about two weeks with all the specs and what not, but it has been over a month and I have not heard anything. I was thinking of sending an email to the recruitment director, however, I bothered her so much during the acceptance phase I could definitely get the hint that she may be getting annoyed...

so what is the best way to follow up with the firm and ask what the deal is. I really don't want to sound pushy, so any etiquette tips would be appreciated. Should I just wait it out? send an email? what should I say?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Email in a week and ask if she'd sent the packet.

I'd email her soon.  They said 2 weeks, it's been a month.  I'm not sure if you signed and mailed back an offer letter when you accepted, but if not, then there may be an offer letter in this packet they'd like back.

And just keep your email short and to the point, and it won't be annoying.
