If you're applying to jobs on LinkedIn do this:
See who the job poster is (usually HR/Recruiting or the hiring manager). Send them a connection request:
“Hi Jane - I just applied to your eCommerce Manager posting and look forward to hearing back! Either way, it would be great to connect on here.
Thanks!
Adam“
No pressure, friendly, shows your genuine interest and level of initiative. Even if Jane doesn't think you're a fit for the role you're applying for you can still connect for future opportunities and long-term networking.
