Not at all. Dm them!

Why would you not? They should be able to assist you through the process. However, it’d be ideal that you capture their contact info while you’re talking to them, not outside the regular channels (email/phone).

Did that person know if you applied for certain role? If they don’t, it should be fine to tell them “I recently applied to XYZ role with your company, what is the best way to follow up with someone in your team?”.

I just NOT using their default one as it’s redundant

Also, look at their activity and see if they posted anything. Try to comment on there too to get their attention. I would even notify them that you sent them a dm.

8 weeks left in my notice period and company is throwing in new projects for me to work on “while they’ve got me” (8 years in company, longest tenure second only to founders). I’d be able to produce something but not to a great standard, and I wouldn’t be able to see campaign through. 90% capacity and heart’s just not in it.
