Is it right to send a LinkedIn connection request to member of a company you recently applied to, after they view your profile? #jobhunt #career
I’ve done it before and got the job because of it. So I’d say yes.
Thank you so much for this response. Apologies for asking: did you send any personal message to the person?
I’ve done it in two different situations one to hring managers peer and one to a future peer. The peer of the hiring manager accepted the request but didn’t respond and the peer actually struck up a conversation and ultimately put in a good word for me. The hiring managers peer ended up being in my interview and already knew more about my experience because of my LinkedIn profile. Besides, what’s the worst that happens? They don’t accept your friend request?
Totally!
Why not.
If you have to ask, then no
Wow... actually felt it would be nice to do so especially if it's a firm you're really enthusiastic about joining
