how long to wait before contacting an employer about application status
But luckily there are a number of ways you can boost your chances in this often frustrating waiting period. First, ensure your application has definitely been received. If there's a set deadline, wait seven days before making contact to see if your application has found its way safely to the employer. If there is no closing date then wait two weeks. Drop a line to the person you applied to, confirming that you made the application and that you are keen on the role.
