How to be persistent without being annoying?
I am a non target junior with a 3.6GPA. I have been consistently networking for a summer analyst position over the past 4-5 months through cold emailing and referrals. I have built up quite a few relationships with people and it seems to be going well so far. I am at the point where I really want to get interviews and I dont want to be left behind or lost in a pile of applications/resumes. Some of the firms I have been talking to have recently told me that some things have changed and the best thing to do is to apply online. Other places have told me my resume is under review currently and if they are interested I should hear back soon. Should I continue to network and talk to people or should I just let it go and see what happens? I am thinking there is a possibility that they see me as annoying and just tell me to apply online so I will go away, but also at the same time it seems that they might be telling the truth..... What should I do?
Thanks in advance
the people who are saying apply online are not interested in attaching their name to you so they are saying apply online and let it go through hr then to the hiring manager and if you make it through that relationship will help but i wouldn't annoy them.
Thanks for your response pubfinanalyst---- The thing is, most of the relationships I have made are with analysts. Now that recruiting time has gotten closer I have asked them to pass my resume along and such. They have been more than happy to put me in touch with people on the recruiting team. I would then reach out and have a few back and forth emails with them and eventually they tell me that I should apply on the company website. For another place they told me that right now they are focused on full time recruiting and that if I want to apply to our summer internship program, please visit our website. Should I get back in touch with them in the near future to still try to get on a phone call or just hope that they pick me for an interview via the online application?
well did you put their names in when you submitted your online apps?
one of the apps was just upload a resume and thats it -- so no
Definition of Persistence vs Being Annoying (Originally Posted: 03/31/2011)
Just curious... how much is too much? Asked this because of the following story
It's obvious that I want it and I wasn't being a smartie pants in my reply, just saying I can work unpaid and he goes onto say that. Do you think this was too much for me to ask? Was I annoying in such a way that it really pissed him off?
I have had my fair share in cold calling, but in cold emailing, this seems to be the harshest one so far... apart from the other poster who emailed his alum and he posted Doostang or something. Anyways, share your stories and let me know your opinions on this matter.
I initially planned to write a full length paper on his communication skills not being so well since he wasn't clear saying they're not hiring, but... i decided not to.
Haha... that's great. Lots of dickheads in the industry. Don't sweat it, just move on. You weren't being annoying.
I can't think of a single industry with more dickheads than finance...
Maybe that's why I like working for myself? lol
Just chalk it up to experience...and no, you weren't being annoying, as he left the door open by saying " I don't THINK"...which can be interpreted (rightly so) as uncertainty in the matter.
he's probably a dick and was having a bad day. keep going
Whatever dude, some people are dicks; though without reading the emails it's hard to say for sure...
Post his picture.
Move on. You win some you lose some. No need to respond
You shouldn't have cold emailed asking for internship...you ask to grab coffee or have a quick call to learn more about the industry and other such BS.
If you're looking for an internship for NEXT summer (2012) then coffee sounds good ...but if you need something in a month or two, why not just email (especially if you have a decent resume)? This is what other cert users have told me - I'm not saying that they're any more experienced than you.
Not to mention the biggest factor - geography. Coffee's not so easy when you live far from any financial hubs...and not everyone lives near NY, SF, etc.
And if you have absolutely no connection/commonality with which to draw from when reaching out, are you still supposed to think that a transparent informational interview request will result in a banker offering me an internship in a couple months? You know 993837million times more than me - please don't think I'm a snotty know-it-all, I'm just sayin...
This. I don't know what your original email specifically said, but his first response leads me to believe you came on a little strong with the internship talk. He would have at least referred you to an analyst if you framed it as if you were just looking to learn more about the industry, and not secure a job right off the bat.
His second response was still very dickish. He's probably going through one or more divorces at the moment though, so don't hold it against him.
You cold emailed a very busy guy and he actually took the time to answer your question. You ignored his answer and emailed him again. How does that make him a dick?
While you make good points, I think:
and that he said "hiring" led the OP into asking for something "unpaid". His reply was dickish because he could've simply said, "I think you misunderstood me, we can't accommodate any more in interns."
@OP: You were definitely being persistent. Keep it up. Don't waste your time being a dick to dicks.
haha, this is hilarious!
One time I just cold emailed and got an initial reply saying "Try working on your grammar skills first." I couldn't find anything wrong with the email so I emailed him back asking him what was wrong and never heard from him again. No name boutique and mid-tier liberal arts educated MD. If they don't care enough to respond properly, they're probably not worth working for. I'm making a list of all the people who were excessively rude and hope I run into them again when I'm big. Brining karma back!
He could have just not responded, but he had to go the extra mile and call you out on your listening skills! He probably did you a favor though would you really want to work with someone like that anyway?
You didnt do anything wrong. Shit happens.
But i hve to say this is hilarious. Mind posting his emails in entirety? - of course delete the names.
Don't sweat it. Keep chugging.
lol
reminds me of how I coldcalled a BB here everyday (atleast 2 times a day) for the past 2 weeks, and everytime I asked to speak to that person (HR) he/she would be "busy", the receptionist would say after my call gets routed to his desk(on one of the calls, I heard his/her voice telling the receptionist what to tell me). The receptionist ended up speaking in a raised voice:" She says she is always busy!" Sent him/her 3 emails, no reply.
Instead of firing off a hot, anger-filled email, I remember what my hindu Indian friend (Krishnan, bless your soul buddy) would always say: Choo choo! The karma train is never late ;)
This MD will be in the same exact position you're in in a relatively short amount of time, just watch. He'll be even more desperate, and I'd laugh hysterically if another senior banker gave him the same answer :D
Heres a good question: Should I contact bankers directly or speak to HR (I usually get this answer: Check our website and complete an application)? If the latter, how do I get their contact information? What should I say in the initial e-mail? Sorry to hijack the thread (no pun intended lol)!
In the time you posted this and read all the comments, you could have reached out to other people.....
NEXT
Love all the responses. I am currently taking a break from sending out cold emails for a summer internship (real estate investment in case anyone has any leads) so this was quite timely.
1) I have to agree, yea ignore that guy, he was probably having a bad day. 2) I have found emailing works so much better than calling if it is cold, because people have email wherever they go, so it only takes 1 minute to respond to your request. 3) I don't think most people are offended if you cold email them with a short to the point letter stating your purpose and then throwing out an overview of your skill set. 4) Companies who "get it" know its always good to have quality people in their pipeline for when positions come open so it makes sense for them to at least spend 10 minutes on the phone with you if you're story is good.
Good Luck!
sounds like a worthless ahole. common in the industry and life
If you cannot stand a guy like, stay away from IBD. Spending time with dicks like this guy is everyday life of IB analyst util you become one of them. That's why the industry turnover rate is very high.
I usually try not to look too desperate and needy... If I were u, maybe I would wish him luck after getting the first reply. But having said that, that's just me. Don't think you did a wrong thing. Keep it up.
Would it kill you to say "i'm sorry, you are right. I misunderstood you. Have a good day" ? Especially considering that you probably did come across as an over-eager beaver?
The guy is probably not in charge of hiring decisions, which is why he "didn't think" they were hiring interns.
Hahaha "buyout king"
http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/need-adviceslast-shot-for-bb-sa-t…
can someone answer my question?
it's like hitting on chicks at the club. you never get mad at the ones that reject you, you just keep moving on until you found the one that's DTF.
it could be a lot worse man.. ive had an MD respond to my cold emails, offer to help me out and everything.. then out of nowhere, he stop replying to calls and emails. Lol kinda strange but hey shit happens and u move on
I think its great...I'd rather get that then nothing in response. In fact, I would wait a week and then email him again saying that you had spent the week working on your listening skills and now you are ready to start the internship.
Please do this. I really want to know if this will work.
@OP: This is basically some guy's poor attempt at humor and making himself somehow feel important. Happens all the time and its never funny.
What would be funny is if you did this:
And then post the repsonse along with his conatct info.

You could fill a book with exchanges like this...

sounds like a fact finding mission. I love people like that. I will tell you Asian women are very much that way. They will ask you a million questions that dont even pertain to the conversation you are having which makes it seem disengenuous and non empathetic.
This happened to me at a college party recently, most people were celebrating graduation and I'm getting interrogated about my job offer.
hahahah classic! I know the feeling. Its incredible because they feel like they HAVE to KNOW everything about every possible variable in the job to succeed. I just go in and adapt to the situation.
I love the kids who nod like fucking bobble heads as they try to "network"
^ It's in the education/culture. Creativity is suppressed. While that continues, it won't be a threat of an economy.
it is not an asian thing its an issue most young people have. I have been asked tons of questions about crap that does not matter but for some reason young folks want to know...
Hey Monty whats going on? I agree that lots of young people could be like that. I was just trying to point out as the poster above said its a cultural thing to asians especially chinese women. It is just something I have noticed while I have meandered through life.
Its not necessarily a bad thing and I have known russian women to do the same thing. This is most likely the reason why a lot of people think certain asian groups or russians for example are socially awkward.
Okay WSO.... Am I just being annoying??? (Originally Posted: 07/14/2015)
I applied online for a position at a well known firm. Sent the head of the group a side email, expressing additional interest. HR sets up a call, with HR.
During the call HR asks if I had looked at a much more senior position in a different front office area altogether (one was sales, the other research - same dept head) they have offered. I said I was of course interested. She said they would get back to me about a face to face.
Pumped about the more senior position, I followed up with HR 2 weeks later. They responded something like this: we will see if I can try hard to get them to do a face to face.
Yes, it was that cryptic.
I read that as there was some initial hesitation by the group, and wrote back saying thanks and if there was anything I could clarify regarding my experience. 10 mins later got the auto-reject email.
I once again emailed the head, reiterating that I would be a good fit for this or other potential roles. No response.
Fast forward two weeks, and now they have another position I interested in. I am considering:
1) apply online and see if a different recruiter contacts me (chances are they will see the last position and ask the first recruiter questions)
2) email the first recruiter, saying I saw this new position, think I would be a fit, and let them know I can interview.
My issue is, I still wonder if I was dinged in the first place for following up too much. The recruiter never gave me her email to begin with ([email protected]). The whole initial round was just strange; interviewing for one position where you act like it's all you ever wanted, then switching and going for the better one they offered.
So, any thoughts? Should I follow up and maybe I made up the "ding" or maybe I get black-listed??
What's an auto-reject email like? What did it say in the text?
Maybe it was some sort of mindf*ck game/test where they dangled a different position to see if you were actually interested in the one you applied for?
Auto reject was boiler-plate. Paraphrased, "Thanks for your interest in xxxx. After careful consideration, we have decided to go with other candidates. Your resume will remain in our system, and we encourage you to visit our career site....."
I thought the dangle too. I said to the interviewer, "so I am interested but do not want to seem ambiguous here" they said to not worry about that and the head wanted them to push me towards this other Role. Which, was again weird on why I never received the face to face, and makes me think I was dinged on the follow up. Who the hell knows.
My honest feeling was that hr made up that the head wanted me in the other role. I think after our convo, hr thought it would be a good fit (I knew that I was under-qualified though).
3 question marks in a title line? yes, you're being annoying
thanks for the input everyone.
I agree they do not make the decisions, but they are certainly the initial gate-keepers, especially if you can't pin down who to network with in the group.
Need help with finding line of being aggressive but not annoying (Originally Posted: 08/17/2015)
Hi all - long time lurker.. made an acct to post for help on the process of being recruited by a third party to KKR. I've already had 2 phone interviews with the recruiters which, by their own admission, went really well.
I've had 2 total phone interviews with KKR, one with an associate and one with a director. I thought they went well, handled the technicals correctly, and sent thank you emails (important to the story). Was told they would know next steps the next day. This was last week.
I called the recruiter the day after and asked him if he knew anything. He said they were meeting Thursday afternoon w/ KKR and would give me a call then on if I were to make it to the next round. Didn't hear anything back phone or otherwise from him, or his recruiting firm and not from KKR. Sent a followup email this morning (Monday) wondering if I needed to provide him anything or if he had hear of anything which I haven't heard back on and it's been about 6 hours.
My question is how can I remain persistent on him and/or KKR to keep this process moving when the said they'd have answer 2x last week and show that I'm interested in the role without being an annoying candidate that no one would want in their company.
I have the contact information for all 4 involved (the recruiter, his director, the KKR associate, and the KKR director). Never worked thru a recruiter like this before so I'm not sure if I should jump them and reach out to KKR if I haven't heard anything soon.
I think I'm getting anxious and want to play this correctly without being too pushy but still showing them interest..
Thanks! - KEM
6 hours!?!? START TO PANIC!!!!
In all seriousness though, they haven't forgotten about you and your persistence isn't going to change anything. I would maybe call your recruiter tomorrow as he has arguably the greatest vested interest in your success (outside of yourself obviously) as he's getting a decent check if you get placed. I would caution against contacting the people at KKR as I've heard of issues before where the company / recruiter gets pissed off for you trying to go around the system. As much as the recruiter is there to provide candidates part of their role is also to deal with the process so that the working professionals don't have to. If the people at KKR start getting blown up with emails they may wonder why the hell they're paying all that money to a recruiter which will in turn piss the recruiter off for you trying to cut them out.
Great thank you! It's been the culmination of not hearing back last week on the final word along with this. Just want to be sure I'm not leaving anything on the table. I appreciate your reply. Thanks
Dude this happens all the time. Sometimes things come up and people aren't able to get back to you right away. It happens.
Thanks Gunners. Would you recommend calling KKR directly or just letting the whole thing work itself out?
A fine line btw following up and being annoying (Originally Posted: 01/27/2010)
I've been in process with an BB ibank since last month. I've had a couple of phone interviews and then a couple of rounds at the office. It all looked promising and I even got some verbal indication that an offer is forthcoming. However, I heard back today and was told that they're still in the process of deciding, and it could be a few weeks before a final decision is made. The Director who contacted me was super nice and mentioned that he thinks I'm in a good position and asked me to keep him updated on my status. It's kinda disheartening but I think this situation is more common these days with so many qualified candidates competing for a limited number of positions. Should I keep following up during the next few weeks as they make their decision? If so, should I do it through email or phone? How often and when should I contact them? Lastly, what should I say to express my continued interest, other than "i'm calling/emailing to express my continued interest."
I've never been in a situation like this before. It's usually a "yes" or "no" answer so any advice is appreciated.
I would email them every 10 days or so. Just say "I hope you're doing well, I just wanted to follow up and check in regarding the status of my candidacy for the __________ role. I remain very interested in the position......................."
follow up every 30 mins-phone works best
This might be tough but I would say focus on applying to more positions and locking in new interviews. You have finished all the face-to-face you can do and have tried your best.
If you were to follow-up, email the person who gave you a verbal offer. Also in your emails don't just say you are express interest, highlight (briefly!) how you can contribute and what areas you sincerely think differentiate you from others.
check your PM. =)
I never called unless it had been 15 days or I had another offer.
Annoying or Persistent, Can't really tell the difference (Originally Posted: 12/09/2010)
I've literally been playing hide and go seek with this ceo of a boutique for the past 2 months now....
in the last 8 times i've tried to get a hold of him, I've managed to get a hold of him once (last week) where he told me he's too busy to talk right now (after market hours) call back tomorrow morning. Problem is the "tomorrow morning" i last called ( a week ago) I got his secretary because he was in a meeting and was told he;d call me back (LOL).
Strong believer in never letting a lead die but at this point i really don;t know if i'm just annoying the dude or being persistent. Debating on calling one more time or emailing, what do you think fellas?
My theory is this, and don't take it too seriously because I'm getting nowhere with networking...
It takes 1 minute for him to look at your resume, 5 mins for him to talk to you on the phone and 2 mins for him to call someone and get you an interview. That's a total of 8 minutes of his day. No one is that busy that they can't spare 8 minutes of their day, or even 8 minutes over 2 months in your case.
If someone just won't get back to you...they aren't interested. Yes he has things to worry about all the time, but you don't just magically slip out of his mind, after all you did talk on the phone.
In my mind, if I was a senior person and I saw the resume of a kid I thought could really help my firm, I'd give him those 8 minutes of my day.
But what do I know, I'm having no luck getting an interview either. Call him until he responds.
Call again. What do you have to lose?
The absolute worst that happens is this person ends up saying they can't speak to you or don't have a job available. If you think it is a promising lead, be respectful of his time and keep following up. If he truly doesn't want to talk to you the lead will go cold.
I called the MD I will be working for literally 9 weeks in a row - i really wanted that particular job. The way I looked at it was, if I do nothing I lose the lead. If I do a lot odds are he will help me out before he puts me on the do not answer list, I was guessing missed call 50 or so would put me there - so either way worse case is that I lose the lead. However, the upside was huge. Its good risk/reward.
These guys are busy and they do not mean to blow you off its just that they have millions of dollars flying around and literally 100s of emails to get to. Always be respectful of working people's time. Like dont call at 9am and always end any message/email by thanking them for their time.
I called a guy for a year.. when job opened i didnt even interview.. he said i have to hire you so you stop fucking calling me...
^^^ Reasons why Monty09 is a baller. Persistence. I wish I had it.
job was summer internship so not total baller.. but i did hit guy up like crazy..
Do you leave messages when you miss them or do you just call back later?
I never fully miss him, Its either him who I connect with or his secretary who I've ended up being close with. She tells me that she;ll tell him I called or she'll say she'll get him back to me which always makes me laugh
I hate this recruitment vein of "not a no but not a yes". Therefore if they don't say no, I'd keep calling. It looks like a test of your persistence more than a he's busy.
don't call during market hours. EVER
A little piece of advice about networking: Anyone who is not busy is not worth talking to....
this is the dumbest thing i have ever heard
Judging from all your comments especially MJ901s and Monty's, what i'm experiencing is actually normal.
I plan on attempting to get a hold of him next week, you guys are saying keep calling which i agree with, but I feel as if i should send him a detailed e-mail, or is that just a waste with a huge probability of getting shipped into thin air since he probably gets 33453 emails a day.
BTW, i really do appreciate all the feedback on this one gents
I have contacted big players before (guys who I met briefly on the golf course, I was caddie at the time). Example, head trader at one of the biggest shops on the street. It took awhile, probably 15 phone calls.
At the time contacted him, I was a sophmore. He gave me 30 minutes at his desk. He gave me alot of good advice. Long story short he told me wasn't qualified. Two months later he left me a voice mail putting me in contact with another MD at big PE shop. I interned at the PE shop.
Keep calling him. When you finally meet with him, he'll be real with you and take it from there.
Be ready for when he calls you back. It may be 10pm on Friday night, while you in the middle of pregaming. Keep working it kid. You'll do great.

I was pretty good friends with a Director and he said he would try to do something for me at a top AM in Hong Kong. He is on the Corp Strategy team and they need analysts. I do not have great qualifications but he thinks I am capable from our relationship. I promised him to work for free for a couple months, and he said that would be a good sell. However, I have not been able to get in touch with him meaningfully for the last month. I've left a message upon landing in HK but didn't receive a reply. What do you guys think?
How good of friends is "pretty good friends?"
I have his cell phone, we went on a 5-6day trip together last year for R&R (even though we met only by accident), and he invited me to lunch last time I was in HK (about 2 months ago).
Also, last time we met, he notified that he was hiring. He could've gotten me hired right away if I had a MBA. I went to lunch at his invitation (and expense) only for friendship, and had no idea something like this was going to happen.
How long have you guys been friends? How did you meet (did you meet for networking reasons, or other reasons)?
We've known each other since end of 2009. We spent quite a bit of time planning our R&R. We met on some hobby forum. (ahem, what are bankers mostly interested in?) Our trip was pretty damn good, and we spent lots of time discussing business/politics as well.
what cocaine forum are you on?
I'm just trying to get a sense of whether, from his perspective, it looks like you just reached out to try and land a job. If so, I figure that he probably feels a lot less compelled to help you. That's totally different than someone you're friends with, who you met before banking, or at least where the relationship doesn't seem like it's based on career/networking. I honestly don't know anything about banking, so I could be way off, that's my opinion on relationships in general. For example, I recently had a guy who really helped me land interviews and make it to the final round at his company. Our relationships had been formed way before he worked there and I never even thought he'd help me careerwise. We had a friendship that was built on two people who thought highly of each other and got along. I think he spoke highly of me because he meant it, and because he wanted to help a friend.
dont be "annoying" be "persistent"
If you are in HK and he is a contact then do every attempt to get in contact with him. Otherwise, soon as you return you will hear from him/her and they will say you should have blown up phone up if you were here.
Can you guys be slightly more specific? I've been contacting him once a week. At what point does it become unacceptable? Is it more professional to call his office or his cell? Leave voicemails or no voicemail?
To the above commenter for "cocaine forum", you're pretty close, but no dice :)
now im interested. pm me site as im always into the fringe
This is one random post. Since he is a random contact I would just call his cell phone. Try to get through his secretary. He may be really busy.
Hmm... I do not have access to that information. I can try calling the main and ask for his secretary I guess...
Play it off the assistant. Act like you guys are good buddies, and she'll spill all the beans.
bump to try to get more advice
let me guess.. watch forum?
So this guy doesn't pick up his office line, and he doesn't have an assistant/secretary. What do I do? What's the max number of times I should call someone's cell phone? 3? 2? 1? 10?
How did it go?
When should I start getting annoying? (Originally Posted: 01/04/2011)
Short summary:
non target, networked my ass off to get an interview for s&t @ a BB. (full time)
Killed phone interview, moved on to superday.
Great superday, got called back a week later for more interviews with a specific desk.
Really bonded with everyone I met in the final round, felt really confident, despite it being so late in the process (being that the non target superday is the last)
That was back in late November. I didn't hear anything for two weeks so I sent hr an email, asking what was up. No response to the email but a week later I got a call. It was hr calling to say that I was still being considered for the position but she couldn't provide any more info as to why it was taking so long and when I could expect to hear. That was mid December.
Still have heard nothing, and my email sent to hr last week went unanswered, as did the one associate I chose to email on top of hr. I can understand the silence from the busy associate, but isn't it hrs job to keep me informed?
This is a dream job and I busted my ass to get to the point I'm at. I refuse to go down without swinging, the job is mine for the taking. When should I start getting annoying. Should I call hr? Call the md on the desk? Or should I wait it out and hope that some BS "we are no longer pursuing you for employment" email shows up in my inbox in march?
Thanks to all
dude you're waitlisted and they're waiting to hear back from somebody i can't imagine this is any clearer; keep looking elsewhere. pissing off an MD is the absolute last thing you want to do. you did great for a non-target already
One day, I'm going to just leave like 3 candidates hanging; and the first one to "annoy" me, gets the job. I would do that for something like a sales job, where persistence/balls are important. (I read somewhere that a good hiring practice is to tell people that they didn't get a job, and see what they say back; if they protest and say you are making a big mistake, then they're worth the hire, haha).
You may have a sell-day at some point, essentially a matchmaking process. Firms will bring in everyone they've extended offers to, and candidates will meet representatives from multiple groups. The groups rank their favorite candidates, candidates prioritize their favorite groups, and decisions are made based on matrixing the two.
Follow-up: how to not be annoying? (Originally Posted: 02/28/2011)
Right now, all of my 4-5 boutique leads have told me that they will start interviewing "towards the summer" and "march-april". Its been 4-6 weeks since last contact, is it worth re-emailing them to stay on the radar, or would it be annoying, and what would I ask them? I don't want them to forget me
Interviewing for what?
Annoying or Appropriate...Advice Please (Originally Posted: 03/17/2014)
WSO, can't thank the community enough for helping me land a solid SA offer.
Quick Background: I am a non-target junior, and will be working for a European based asset manager. They have not given team assignments yet, but said I will be working in equity, fixed income, or real estate. All of my work and extra-curriculars are focused on equity, and I indicated it as my preference during interviews. Based on the intern class from last year, most, if not all of the SA's will be from targets.
I was hoping for some advice on how to prepare for this summer considering I won't know what team I will be placed on until April/May. Somewhat ironically, I did no networking into this firm and ended up finding it to be a great fit after getting contacted for interviews, and chose this over a few other offers in the same industry. Because of this, I only know one employee in the office who was an intern last summer in a back office role (accepted FT offer into rotational program) and have I no other contacts I can reach out to within the firm.
I have debated sending out some emails to members of the the equity team to learn more and show I have a strong interest in being placed there. I realize this may come across as (very) annoying so I am looking for some feedback if this is appropriate or just a terrible way to start the summer. I also understand that if I do not get placed on the equity team it makes it seem like I am uninterested in wherever I get assigned.
Any input from people who have been here before or received similar emails to this would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Congrats man. I would actually try reaching out to HR - they might have a better idea of where you will be placed. Personally, I don't think it's a bad idea at all to reach out to people in the equity team, but I wouldn't go overboard if you're worried that they might get annoyed. Maybe pick 1 or 2 people to reach out to.
