  1. Hmm...

    Call up and ask if you made the job.

    Maybe they'll give you an interview.

    Just wait a couple more days okayy?


  2. a follow up call the day after you submit

    but it is better to get the application at the place of buisness

    and then fill it out there and turn it in

  3. I would call today, or tomorrow. Typically you can wait up to about a week, but it doesn't hurt to call the next few days after. Since it's an online app, it may take a bit longer for the people to review if they aren't getting instantaineously via email.

    I would call and say, "Hello, my name is ..... and I recently submitted and application with your company and was calling to inquire about the position with the person responsible for hiring. Is he/she available?"

    Good Luck!

  4. i would wait until monday to call since its getting to be towards the end of the week.  

  5. I'd wait until tomorrow to call them.  When you call just say something along the lines of "Hi, this is [insert your name], I applied to Albertsons on Monday, and I was calling to check the status of my application."  Oh, and make sure you ask for an HR manager when you call.

    Good luck!

  6. probably 3-7 days.

    and just call and say

    hey this is ...[insert name here] i was just calling to chekc on my application.. :)

  7. i would say 1 week  

  8. You really should'nt have to call them. If they want you then they will contact you.

  9. you should call about 5 to 7 days after applying. when you call ask for the manager and just tell him/her that you are very interested in the job and you would like to know if they looked over your application yet. if they say no then atleast they know you are intersted and thus they probably will look up your application when they need another worker. good luck sweety!

  10. I would wait 3-5 days and call and ask for the store manager. They work in the mornings, so call at that time. Don't waste your time talking with the baggers or banana scanners or anyone that is not the manager. Call at least 1 to 2 times a week and ask this " I'm enquiring how the processing of my application is going.? "  I did this for a job I really wanted and called and talked with the manager twice a week for 6 weeks. They hired me, because they clearly could see I wanted the job and also probably to get me to stop calling. Be professional and friendly. Maybe shop there at night and meet the night manager and tell him you'd love to work there. Maybe ask him for any advice on getting the job. It will greatly increase your changes if you show that you really want the job and willing to work hard. Just remember not to call too much. You don't want them to not like you. The stores want someone  flexible and dependable. If you're willing to work nights, weekends or whatever, they'll like that a lot. Best Wishes.

  11. The three day rule applies here

  12. Is this a trick question? It depends on how often they upload their resumes, and how often they check it.  I would wait a few days then call back and see if they have gotten it. Some places send you a response back telling you they have it, and some don't, good luck, I know how it feels because I am doing the same thing.  

  13. wait a week to a week and a half

  14. I'd give it a week - if they've had a lot of applications then it might take them sometime to get through them, though if I was kept waiting this long I would not be confident. The last job I applied to I got a call back the next day and, my brother applied to the same people and got a call back in a couple days. Having said that it took them three weeks to call me to tell me I'd got the job after my interview, I'd given I hope by then.
