| luv2write | Posted – 5/24/2005 12:58:48 PM | show profile Anyone have any positive (or negative) experiences calling to follow up on a sent resume when a posting specifically states, ''No calls, please.'' I don't mean harassing a firm, but sometimes I feel like its better to show interest and persistance and differentiate yourself from the numerous resumes coming in and what's the worst that could happen? I was just curious as to what some experienced posters and seekers have to say. |

Or, call after hours and leave a message to follow up. I'm sure there are a few companies that might throw you out of the pool just because you called but that's not the kind of place you want to work at anyway. I think in some places the ''don't call'' line is just there to hopefully prevent a swarm of unqualified people ringing the phone off the hook. |
