How long should you wait before chasing up a job enquiry? Should you even bother?
 
As title really.....

Does it matter about it being an email/job-site based application.

(Not me - I've got a great job :p)

It helps imo

I submitted a letter of application and a CV earlier this month for the whatever position advertised in/on wherever. To date, I have not heard from your office. I would like to confirm receipt of my application and reiterate my interest in the job.

Even if it's only been 5 working days (from today)?

Wait until Monday? Or contact today with a view to hearing back next week?

Dan :)

that's annoying - I edited the mis-spell of enquiry last night :mad:

Always chase; especially if its a job that involces generating business for the company. A rule of thumb that Id use would be: a firm that doesnt want you to chase an application should be avoided...

ScoobyDoo555 13 February 2009 08:05 AM

Nice one GC8 - how soon though? Or is it a case of "too soon is never soon enough"

I'm intrigued as I've always been in the fortunate position of being chased/head-hunted :)

I cant help there: Id say that you get a feel from the interview or conversations youve had.

Nah, he sound like an "on the face guy" to me :lol1: :thumb:

ScoobyDoo555 13 February 2009 04:30 PM

oo er ;)

Sorry chaps, forgot to say, this is for an application not awaiting the results of an interview.......

FWIW, the position has only just expired.... maybe hear something in the next few days.....

what do you think?

ROFL! :D:D

ScoobyDoo555 13 February 2009 10:48 PM

no, not for a proofreader :p

FWIW, my grammar and spelling etc is perfect. I just have to dumb it down so the dimwits on this site don't feel too bad about their own mediocrity!!! ;) :D

Dan :D
