answer:It really depends. There’s no set amount of time they have to call you back. A week or two is probably the average. If they haven’t called by then, there’s a good chance they won’t call at all. And now-a-days, the majority of people who apply for any given job never get called. If you’d really like to work for a company, you can call them about once a week to check up on the status of your application. It shows persistence, but be careful not to make yourself a nuisance. In the current economy, job searching takes a lot of patience. Fill out as many applications as you can, but focus on the jobs you truly would like to have, especially if they actually have an opening. Present yourself well when you land the interview and just hope you stand out among the hundreds of applicants they have to look through.
