Message: Hi, I am a frustrated PhD who wants to relocate myself and family to the RTP area in NC. I have applied to several jobs, however, I haven't landed any interviews. Is it acceptable to make calls to big companies or is that frowned upon? I am coming from the academia world to industry and I just can't figure out the system. Does the squeaky wheel get the grease or will they throw my resume away if I call to follow up on jobs that I've applied for? Thanks, SE
