Having been on the hiring side of the desk, I can see where this would show some strong interest on the part of the applicant. On the other hand, it could be construed as desperation. And I don't know that I would be able to contact the hiring manager directly in any case.
------------- Hi John, If you have a contact person there, I think it's okay to call to touch base and to ask if the position has been filled. If you don't have a contact person and would have to plead for information and be transferred from person to person on the phone, I think you're better off sitting back and waiting. Never underestimate the sabotaging power of a person who answers the phone. You don't want anyone to go back to the hiring manager with, "What a pain in the behind this guy is!" I have never written a follow-up letter, but that seems like a less obtrusive way to ask the same question of the people who you talked to.
