How long to wait to contact an employer?
-
I got a call this past Sunday (2/22/09) about me interviewing for a job. They saw my resume online and they called me, and I submitted the resume on Sunday night. They said an interview would be very soon, either this week or next week. The problem is that it's been almost 4 days that have passed since Sunday night and I have not heard back through email or phone. Should I wait until next week to contac them since they said the interview would be either next week or this week, or how long should I wait to initiate contact with the potential employer?

Answer:
They said 'this week or next week'. You want to seem eager and dedicated, but you don't want them thinking your dumb and can't understand logic. Be patient and don't call until Monday, March 9. There are probably issues that need to be cleared up before they can go forward with interviews or something, who knows.

If they haven't contacted you by Friday, you should call them and ask if the position is still available? Good luck!
Why would a potential employer be calling you on a Sunday? That sounds suspicious. I would give them a call today and say you had not heard from them. Call once and that's it - after that it's in their hands again.
Give them a call today or tomorrow morning.
I personally would call and inquire. Or email and inquire.
