Did follow up really help land the job?

Published

I have applied to and sent out 284 resumes (no joke, I keep a spread sheet) mostl those looooooong online application that drive me NUTS!. I am running out of places to apply. The one thing I have not done is picked up the phone to follow up on the places I have applied. I just feel like I would annoy them.

Has anyone landed an interview just on follow up alone? Some of these places just tracking down the contact info for HR or a contact person in HR is a job in and of itself.

Wait, it irritates them? Ooops. I called one back today and left a voicemail because I read this topic.

*hides in corner*

Maybe it was just this place, it felt strange tbh and I didn't think I would get a response like that. Scared me enough to not do that again though. I'm sure there's nothing actually wrong with calling HR! I was just sharing my own experience.
