Just messaged the President of a company I’m interested in on LinkedIn. Sent in my application and figured for the first time I’d shoot my shot. Fingers crossed.

Love this entrepreneurial thinking! Your savviness is giving me hope and inspiration. A BIG Congrats on the interview, OP! :) 🎆

On a related note, I applied for a role, and a connection forwarded my resume and cover letter to the MD, who apparently responded "very positively." Do you all think I should message the MD over LinkedIn now (or at least follow him)? Or does that look desperate and overkill?

I was considering doing this because the recruiting team hasn't updated us on the application process at all or even sent an automated email that they'd received my application.
