Would it be weird to have my mom turn in my application?

Is it true that when u submit a job application u have to call?

• My mom says that when I turn my job application in that I have to call in and make sure they are reviewing and making a decision

• Answer:

  If you want a job, an application isn't enough. You have to think that when you turn in a job application, there are 50 other people that turned in the same application- and nobody is going to take the time necessary to go through, and evaluate each application. When you call- you give them notice that you have applied, and are interested in the position for hire. Call them within 1-2 weeks after you submit your application, by introducing yourself, stating when you submitted your application, what position you are interested in, and if what the status of your application currently is. You have a better way of being considered, because you are standing out by making yourself known.. Employers are not going to be looking for you, you have to go out and look for them! Good luck!
