Hiring managers: When applying internally, does reaching out to you actually help my application? I follow up each application with an email emphasizing interest. Is this a good idea or do most not prefer it?

Thanks for your comment. Second guessing myself because I’ve been getting rejection emails almost a day or so after...

As a hiring manager I would appreciate it.

It’s usually inconsequential, but no one will hold it against you for sending a follow-up email (unless you say something really stupid in it), and there are some people who might expect it / hold it against you if you don’t send a follow-up. So I’d say it’s a good idea - 10 minutes of your time to remind someone of your conversation and assuage the risk that someone expects you to send one.

Follow-ups are definitely important but this q was geared towards pre-interview

Following. I do this and get warmer responses from the hiring managers. Recruiters will never reach out or update you.

If you’re an internal hire, I’d expect a conversation that isn’t me reading your resume in a stack.

Also, almost every place I’ve worked has had HR governed rules around internal candidates [managers needing to know, time requirements in current position, etc]

What would be the best approach if there’s no connection? Never worked together before and no connections

Hey guys, I have the first short 15-minutes call with a product guy from Hugging Face today wherein he is likely going to take a guess at what roles I could be suitable for. I had applied for Post-Sale Machine Learning solutions Engineer. Is there anyone who’s gone through the process for a similar role at similar organisations or best case scenario would be if anyone has gone through the process with HF.

One of the primary aims of the criminal justice reform movement is to help ex-convicts re-enter the workforce by sealing criminal records, and making it more difficult for employers to judge applicants based on criminal history. The idea is that people are redeemable and capable of reform. Yet the same movement thoroughly enjoys getting people fired and publicly shaming them for making arguments they find “offensive”. A rapist is capable of reform, but not someone who makes a dumb tweet. Got it.
