Do follow-up calls actually get people interviews nowadays? When I call an employer ot follow my resume submission , I have to leave a message and they never call back. What do you actually say when you are calling to follow up, anyway?

I've never even bothered. If you do take the time to call, you'll most likely just have someone tell you that everything is done online and that you'll be notified via email if they decide to move forward with you.

Linked in message the recruiter/hiring manager who posted the job. It got me my first interview outside of my industry.

You ve persistent or move on . Sometimes if a company wants you they will hire you . Recruiters have been so weird not realizing their jobs can easily be replaced with AI. Makes me mad when they do that.

Do companies sometimes offer "gifts of appreciation" if you're not selected for a merit increase? My manager randomly called me to let me know I was chosen for the "gift" this year bc of my "hard work & dedication", except now I'm learning other colleagues are receiving actual merits.
I mean it's possible that I may receive a merit, but I feel like I won't considering my manager never brought it up & the dept update made it sound like those receiving it should know by now.
