Follow up on application

Question

I waited a week to follow up on my application and when i called the lady who talked to me said i had to talk to so-n-so but that so-n-so wasn't in right now and that she would give her my name so she could get back to me but i'm not sure if she did or not so should i call again or wait.

Answer 1

Write a follow up letter and address it to the "so n so" you were told you wouldhave to speak to.  Let them know you are just following up on your application and confirming your intetrest in the position applied for.

Answer 2

Follow up once and only once.  If so-n-so isn't available ask for his/her voicemail so you make sure they get your message.

Answer 3

If you've waited a few days call and ask for so-and-so.  Don't be afraid to keep in touch every few days.
