How long to wait before following-up on a resume?

How long should one wait before calling a place they applied at, to check on their resume?

  • I just applied at my first job and I was wondering how long I should wait to call and check on my resume?

  • Answer:

    Did you fill out an application or just dropped off your resume? Also, don't apply to one place. Apply to several. The job market still sucks in some areas, so you need to widen your job search. Good luck.

Like a couple days. Companies like people who are persistent and actually want to work there. Just don't bother them over and over again

yes I would wait maybe 2 to 3 days and call, going in and introducing yourself to the manager is also a good idea :) good luck

Within a week of making your application.

You could have asked someone working at that job how they liked it and slip in words by asking how long before they called after application if you decided to get a job there? Also never wait for one job, more the better then waiting.g for one be aide they might hire someone else.
