Follow up to mass mailing?
Is it advisable to follow up after mass-mailing a firm if you don't hear anything after awhile?

Not unless you have a reason to contact the firm.
It is VERY early. Last year I applied in early July and didn't hear anything, from any firm, until mid-August.
They didn't lose your application and they aren't going to be impressed by a blizzard of information during their busiest and most stressful time of the year.
Having said that, if your position changes (evaluating an offer, doing a callback at another firm next door) it's absolutely appropriate to get in touch and try to leverage your success elsewhere.

I have a callback at a v100 in a secondary market with not that many other firms that have SA programs in it. I then mailed those firms with dates I'd be in town - wise to call and say I'm interviewing with X on Y dates or just follow up re-iterating dates I'll be in town?Anonymous User wrote:Having said that, if your position changes (evaluating an offer, doing a callback at another firm next door) it's absolutely appropriate to get in touch and try to leverage your success elsewhere.

Re: Follow up to mass mailing?
Following up is not just about making sure they didn't lose your resume. It's about giving a recruiter with a stack of resumes a reason to look at yours more closely. As in, "Hey, this person was interested in our firm enough to call and follow-up. His resume looks exactly like these 20 resumes who didn't call. I guess I'll call this one first."Anonymous User wrote:Not unless you have a reason to contact the firm.
