How long to wait before following-up on a resume?

Should I send my resume as soon as the internship positions open, even though it isn't much different from the previous Fall, or wait 1-2 months until I can add more projects to it?

  • I've read that it's best to apply as soon as the internship "season" starts but my resume is not much different from the previous Fall, but by the time Fall starts I might be able to get a position in the one of the best mobile startups in my country which will lead to a better resume.

  • Answer:

    Send it in right away. If you get a significant position, send them your updated resume with an explanatory cover letter. That would give you two chances to be seen, perhaps by different people, which might improve your odds.
