Interview related question

I am trying to gather opinions about an interview etiquette question.

I am an RN with a BSN and 8 years experience in critical care. I am trying to change jobs, and for many personal and professional reasons, I have decided that I should also change hospitals. I am employed, so there really isn't a rush to get a new job, I'm just ready for a change.

There are 2 large hospital/healthcare systems in my area, and I have applied for jobs with both of them. I have also been in contact with the main HR reps for both systems. This has all been almost a month ago. All of the positions are still open, I just haven't heard anything regarding an interview.

A former colleague works in one of the units where I am trying to get an interview, and has given me the email address of the unit manager. Is it appropriate to email the manager directly? I don't want to beg for an interview, but I could also offer to forward her a digital copy of my portfolio (or something less desperate sounding).

    If your colleague has a good relationship with the manager, perhaps they could put in a good word for you and the manager could then bug HR to get your application forwarded to the him/her (the manager).

    HR is is in NO hurry. One month is not long at all in their grand scheme of things.

    If you have not received the generic email that you are not an "ideal candidate" .. consider that a good response.

    I waited 3 months for my interview, it's difficult I know.

    Unless I had a nodding relationship with a manager, direct contact is not appropriate.

    Good luck, keep us posted.
