What to say when calling about the status of a job application?

• So I submitted a job application to a nursing home to be a cna. I know they are going to be hiring people. I called a few days after giving my application and couldn't get a hold of the person I needed to talk to so i called a couple days later and found out the person i needed to talk to was on sick days and told me to call back on the following morning. I called got a hold of her and said hello gave my name said I was interested in the position and she told me she would give me a call. She didn't call me back within the week so i called again and said hello, my name, and tht I am really interested in the position. She told me she was going to call me sometime last week and she said she was going to put my application to the side and i never got a call. From what I know she has not called up anyone for interviews and am told she is a lagger when it comes to this stuff. So this has all happened in the past month and havnt talked to her for a little over a week now. I want to call her tomorrow but I don't know what to say. I don't want to bug, but as some people have told me bug but be polite about it. So any advice on what i can say to her. This would b the third time I have ever spoken to her. Thanks

• Answer:

  Definitely do call, just be polite and ask if you could find out the status of the job position. Start out by saying you understand she is a very busy person and you hate to be a bother but you were just wondering if she could give you an idea of when she might be scheduling interviews.
