ive had people i know apply where i work without telling me first. usually when asked why they want to work there, they always act as if they name drop a current employee, it automatically makes them trustworthy and gives them that extra edge to be considered. they always call back a day or two later asking how the interview went....then they call a week or two later wondering why they weren't considered...some have called back after that as well asking if they haven't yet hired someone and are still deciding, if they've been given a second look over or if they can have a 2nd interview...
usually ends up in me getting a shit talk from the foreman to personally tell the person to shut up, they're not hired, and they're becoming annoying. so if you know someone, dont drop their name, and if you do, make sure you have their permission or an okay first.
personally, if i knew in advance or know of a friend applying, ill flat out tell them, dont say my name, theres easily a 1000+ resumes for 3 positions, maybe 20 get interviews, if you make it that far, dont fuck it up by name dropping!
