Not sure if HR Manager is man or women?

Danye

Just a quick question

Im applying for a job and have the name of the person who I need to address my cv to but I dont know if its a man or a women. Its a unisex name.

I dont wanna call her Miss if its a Mr and vice versa, what should I do?

Thanks

To Whom it concerns??

Could you go a little informal and just say "Dear Lesley"? (or whatever the name happens to be).

While I'd normally recommend using Mrs/Mr/Ms, in this circumstance it might be better to go with just the first name. The other alternative, if it's a big company, is to ring reception and just explain that you want to address a letter and you're not sure if it's a man or woman.

google their name & company to see if you can get anything + try linkedIN & facebook.

or just leave out Mr/ Mrs /Miss part before their name - that should be fine, nobody gets too concerned for about minor formalities like that.

Drop the hand?

Edit: Just ring and ask whoever answers the phone, don't say its a CV, just that you have a letter for them an are unsure.

Thanks for the replies.

I know the persons name so I wanted to take advantage of that, I think it is a lot better addressing the application that way.

But I think I will just go informal.

Use "Dear Sir/Madam" or "A Chara" if you are an Irish speaker.

I would never assume a first-name basis when applying for a job.
