krob0 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Hi everyone, I graduate in less than 2 months and am applying to jobs. So far, i have heard nothing in return. I applied to a position that I am very interested in about 1 week ago. What are everyone's thoughts on follow up calls to the hiring manager? In this particular situation, there was no phone number on the posting but I found a name on their website I could ask for when calling the office. Any advice on whether this is appropriate? What should I be prepared to say/ask on this call? Is 1 week to soon to call? Any advice is appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgriffiths Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I believe that pertinent followup calls are worthwhile. When you call for no reason to pester then that could be considered when considering hiring you. Assuming you have not been pestering them (which doesn't sound like it), a call to ensure they received your application could definitely be worth the time.

sas5814 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Calling 1x to make sure they received your application and express your interest is fine. You would be surprised how often the person doing the hiring never gets the application. Beyond that you ruin the risk of being a pest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
