I just applied for a job at Disney Creative Studios, I saw advice that said to message a recruiter after applying for a job to let them know you applied and you're very interested in the position, but the comments said some jobs hate that.

My application for Disney didn't say either way, I'm wondering if anybody has any advice on whether or not this would be frowned upon to do within the corporation?

My guess is that Disney works with quite a number of recruiters, so the odds of messaging the right one are pretty low. If you were applying to a small company I'd say go for it, shoot your shot. But I'd probably just be a waste of time to do with Disney.

In some contexts that could be good advice, but I agree that with a large organization you'd be shooting in the dark. If you put in the application the best approach would be to wait to hear back and then proceed as you see fit. Let's hope you're called for an interview!
