Would you recommend I reach out to employees at a company that I'm actively interviewing for?
I recently applied for an SDR role and landed an interview with the inbound sourcer! This is a company that I really believe in and want to work for, so I want to show my enthusiasm.
I was thinking of messaging some of their current SDRs on Linkedin to briefly introduce myself, let them know I have an interview scheduled, and ask if they had a few minutes to chat about their experience with the company. To be clear, I'm not planning to ask for interview tips, a referral, or anything that could be seen as trying to get a leg-up in the competition.
I genuinely want to learn as much as I can about this company and its culture, and also show that I'm proactive, but at the same time I'm worried this could come off a bit inappropriate or demanding.
What do you guys think?
