What do resume readers think when...

If I contact an alum looking for a phone call or info interview, but the alum never replies, what will they think when they see my resume? Are they going to think "Oh hey, it's that dumb kid who tried to contact me a few weeks ago but I never replied. Ha!"...or are they going to think "This guy contacted me, I didn't reply, but oh well I'll give him an interview anyways since he made the effort to contact me."

Any current analysts care to comment?
