What's the etiquette around calling about a job after it closes? I put in for a job I really want and it closed today.

I'll bedamned if I leave it in god's hands from here. Do I call on Monday mentioning I have some ideas I'd like to put in a presentation if I get an interview? Something to tease their curiosity a bit?

I have no idea. Monday does seem a bit early to call, they might not have even processed all the applications yet.

I would wait a few days. You don't want to seem desperate. I know it's stupid, but that's the way it is.

When you speak to HR, just ask if they have narrowed down the applicants.

I was thinking I'd call the contact person that would be the manager of the role. I'll wait until the middle of the week and I can use that time to draft what I'd present to them
