I would call them when it has been 3 days. Ask if they had received the email and thank them for there time.

don’t bother to follow up. the hr people are too busy to want to be bothered with your phone call. if they are interested they will contact you.

3 days is a good amt of days to wait. If you wait too long, someone else may have made a better impression than you and stolen the job away…

A week is good. I wouldn’t after 3 days. In that time they are still going through resumes. Followup in a week and also accompany the followup with another resume. This way they aren’t digging for it, if they threw it away the first time. Sometimes if you didn’t make the first cut the followup may get your foot in and then you will get a call. I would never call them first though. If they want to hear from you they will call you. Most companies don’t even accept phone calls regarding a job opening.

Add them to your list of people that you send annoying email forwards to. When they reply and ask you to stop sending them that junk, reply and ask them what they thought of your resume.

I would skip sending another email and would call after a week to check on the status of the position (politely inquiring if they were still reviewing resumes or have begun interviewing for the position yet). That will at least let you know if you should mentally file the job in the “forget about it box” or “still waiting, biting my nails” folder. Good luck!

Days…in this day and age the appropriate time is measured in hours, not days. I would say three to four hours tops. Post a comment
