Beth,

I have had reasonable success in getting interviews for jobs at UNC 
over the years. My suggestion is to call HR and ask who the hiring 
supervisor is for that position. If they won't give up the information, 
call the department directly and ask. Then call the hiring supervisor 
and talk with them about the position.

This gets you three things: first, you'll get better information about 
the job than what's in the announcement. Second, you'll distinguish 
yourself in the hiring supervisor's mind, which will help them pick you 
application out of the pile. Third, if you impress the hiring 
supervisor, they can request your resume and application be forwarded 
by Human Resources, which helps insure you make it into the pile.
