Okay. I sent out various CV. I know that I should wait until after the Labor day week, as nothing is ever done before then.

If there's a job or two that I really really want. What do you guys advise in terms of following up. Should I just be patient and wait? Should I wait 2,3,4,6 week? Should I email or phone when and if following up?

Thanks for your advice.

Very Happy [/b]

If there is a job I really want, and I haven't heard back from them within 3 days, I always send a follow-up e-mail asking for confirmation that my application was received. Nobody has ever gotten upset with me for doing so, and usually they do reply very quickly. I guess all I'm really saying is...it can't hurt.

I've been told that after e-mail follow-up, if still no response, a telephone call would impress them. Good luck. Smile
