Let's say for example you are applying to an intern position at a mid-sized firm. In terms of response rate, would it be better to apply via Doostang where it is listed, or is it better to send an email directly to the [email protected]? Basically, which option would allow your application to be noticed better? Would it be overkill to do both?
Thanks

I wouldn't do both. Between the two, I'd choose to send a direct email to careers email address at the firm.
I've gotten responses when I applied only via Doostang, no responses when applying via the company email/careers/website/etc. and/or both the site and Doostang.
I doubt anybody seriously cares, but I do submit to Doostang every time since logic dictates that if that's where the job is posted, that's where they'll look for resume's for the given position.
Call the firm, just ask as if you didn't know they had a doostang posting. They usually give you the direct person in charge to email. I've gotten a few interviews by doing this
Also interested. Maybe applying from Doostang would be ineffective because there are so many applicants?
