As a hiring manager, I’d say rule #1 is “apply for the job” regardless of what else you do. If someone reaches out to me on LinkedIn for an informational interview or whatever and they’re not in my ATS, I don’t take the call. I cannot apply for you or move you through the process without an application.
- brudgers 2y agoLike I said, hiring managers are incentivized to say “no” but as I did not say clearly, informational interviews are a networking strategy, not a backdoor to job interviews. They are a way of meeting someone on the inside.

- guinn8 2y agoHey, I wanted to thank you for this advice! A recruiter from my dream company reached out to me on LinkedIn yesterday about an opportunity. Before responding, I remembered this specific comment and took the following steps: 1. Applied for the job within 30 minutes of the recruiter reaching out. 2. Replied to the recruiter, requesting a quick phone call the next day. This approach worked beautifully! I just got off the call, and it looks like I’ll likely be doing a technical interview early next week
