I'd call a potential future colleague/boss by their surname before I was formally introduced to them at interview by their first name.
Agree. It's good manners to call someone 'Miss/Mr X' when you have never met them. Only when someone says 'call me xxx' then I would. Before that it's a bit presumptuous and people can be very funny about it.0 -
If the ad says to address CVs to Bob Jones (or whoever) then address it to "Dear Bob Jones". If they would rather you put Mr Jones they would have put that.
Otherwise I put "Dear Sirs".0 -
