How long does it take to get a call back?

Question

I recently dropped off my resume at three different cafes I wanted to work at. It has since been a week and a half without any phone calls. They assure me they were going to phone back. Does anyone know how long it takes or if I should call them and ask if they're doing interviews? Thanks.

Answer 1

You should always call them back. This is because most companies will not call you back. They want to find employees who are enthusiastic about working for their company and show interest.

Answer 2

I've found that unless its working at Mcdonald's (which really does usually hire you on the spot if a manager is around), that every other job I've gotten I had called multiple times. The other ones I didn't get any call backs. So call, call, call!
