Date: November 20th, 2017 9:35 PM Author: bisexual bateful turdskin They let you know when HR has taken a look at your application. I've applied to dozens of jobs and the application is barely ever even looked at, and I have a decent pedigree. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3804170&forum_id=2#34735796) |

Date: November 20th, 2017 9:43 PM Author: bisexual bateful turdskin Something similar has happened to me before when applying through "networking." I was put in to contact immediately with HR with a phone screen, etc. And they had me sort of retroactively apply to their taleo system for official purposes. LJL.

Date: November 20th, 2017 9:51 PM Author: curious gaped half-breed forum Networking is everything. My resume is legit 10/10 for every job I apply to on LinkedIn, and I still only have like a 10% hit rate.
Be aggressive and just hit people up via cold email or LinkedIn instead. I just sent out 10 last week and already have numerous interviews this week. Applying online is dangerous since it lulls you into feeling like you’re accomplishing shit when you’re really not. |

Hi, I notice you’re [position] at [company]. [sentence on our shared school/professional/other connection, however remote]. I am reaching out because I’d love to learn more about [x].

It’s taken me a while to tailor this so it includes enough attention grabbing detail without being too long. My hit rate is astonishingly high with this version, though who knows whether these leads will end up in a sweet job |

Don’t be self-conscious about cold emailing (you can even throw in a “sorry to email out of the blue” into your email). look at it as a 0 downside, high upside proposition. And don’t take it personally if/when people don’t respond. |
