Applying to a group after getting rejected by another

Post by Anonymous User » Fri Sep 26, 2014 2:14 pm

Is this discouraged? If I had a screener with a V100 firm and expressed litigation interest, is it okay to mass mail their corporate group?

Thanks

On one had, what are they going to do, call your mom?

But the conventional wisdom is that once you have a screener with an office, you shouldn't keep trying for more.

Practically, they aren't going to hire you.

I've already been doing it, I was just wondering if this was a huge faux pas. I am definitely not putting a lot of hope into it. But let me ask this: do you think one should notify the firm that they had interviewed with another group or not? I have been forthcoming, so as to mitigate some of the offense I'd possibly be causing -- but I am sure this decreases my odds of a callback.

You can't go lower than zero bro.

No harm unless you count recruiters laughing at you behind your back as they toss your application in the trash.
