John F.’s Answer

I would give the company a week to get back to you before calling them as a follow-up. You do not want to come across as overly aggressive or desperate, but you should ask when you might expect them to get back to you when you first apply. I was once told by a good friend that you should always feel that you are the drivers seat when applying for a job. If you have the necessary credentials for the job, you like the job you are applying for and you are ready to work, let the company know that. When I hire someone, I always pick the person that is energetic, wants to bring their skills sets to the organization, is positive, outgoing, patient, but is tenacious about getting the job. It has been said the 95% of employees are not satisfied with their current work situation, knowing that, make sure that you tell your future employer that you want to work specifically for them and tell them why. Make sure you fully understand the organization so that when you are hired, you fit right into their internal structures.

Shreya’s Answer

Hi Crystal,

Often, after you submit a job application, you receive a confirmation email by the company that states how long they may take to review your application. If they state a few weeks, I would regularly check the application status on the company's career site to see if there is a status update made after the few weeks (2-3 weeks). If there are no updates, I typically like to send a follow-up email in the following week. As companies get many applications annually, it makes sense that they may take a while to get back to you; as applicants, it is important to be mindful and respectful of that. In general, I recommend emailing/calling for a status update a week after the expected notification time.

Good luck with your endeavors!

Setia’s Answer

Hello Crystal, if these jobs are open positions right now, you may consider to call in within a week or so. If you are applying generally then you may want to consider more time before you call in (up to 4 weeks). I hope this is of any help. Kind regards Setia
