Hey folks,

After applying for a job, i followed up about a week and a half later to confirm my application had been recieved, and also re state my interest in the position. I was told my application hadn't been recieved and duly re sent my CV.

It's now been just over a week and haven't heard anything else. Should i find out if the position has been filled or just wait? Not sure how i would word it since i have already sent a follow up?

any advice greatly appreciated!

Thanks

I'm finding that there is a delay of anything up to 6 weeks at the moment before being notified if unsuccessful due to the number of applicants.

Did you ask when the closing date was and by when you would hear if succesful ?

If not, remember to do so in the future and, in this instance perhaps give it a few more days before asking those questions

 

As your CV wasn't received initially, I'd chase it up, it can't hurt.

Qs

 

took the plunge and sent an email.

gl me lol

 

<ring ring> Hello?

Yes, this is Daniel Eight... I'm calling to see if you received my e-mail inquiring to confirm whether you received my CV.

 

nonono. Fax first to confirm the email confirming receipt of the letter.

Then phone to confirm the fax....

If you really want to be daring, throw in a telegram somewhere in there.

 

rofl! no no no, First fax... then send a courier... then have your mom call... then go visit them in person.

 

woah! breaking out the big guns there arent you, getting your mum to go.

 

meh, i'm sure he can handle a few follow ups

 

I wasn't following up regarding the application, just when they expected to let candidates know one way or the other or if the position had been filled.

perhaps i'm being too impatient though, it just that my follow up turned into being an original application rather than getting anymore info!

 

All joking aside, it is usually a good idea to follow up... preferably using a method that you didn't use the first time.

 

serious, never heard that before, will bear in mind

Yeh will do, i now know i have done everything i can, so just wait and see! Would like some feedback if not succesful though so he may not have heard the last of me yet haha!

Aberdeen is ok! Nothing too special but plenty more than most! Scotland is definately worth a visit! I love going to Glasgow so if you make it up definately spend some time there!

Thanks for the advice guys

 

Got an interview
