If you are applying for an open job, send the cover letter and resume only. If you are interested in a company, but can't find an opening, search LinkedIn for a connection you can make or just send a cover letter and resume straight to HR--in either case, the cover letter should simply state that you would like to work for them b/c you think you could make a contribution and here are the types of jobs you can do, etc. (Send 1 PDF doc with a 1 p cover letter and 1 p resume. Unless you are applying at a top tier consulting firm or similar, you don't need more than 1 page.) Calling a company after you've sent them your resume just to "find out if they received it" will almost guarantee they'll delete your resume. No one has time for this any more and you have zero chance of talking to anyone who can help you get hired. Companies do now want to hear from you three times.
