After submitting a résumé electronically, how long should you wait before following up with an employer?
a. 1-2 days
b. 1-2 weeks
c. 2-3 days
d. 4-5 days

The best answer is B: 1-2 weeks.

The in-between time is the most difficult period of job search and so many job seekers can attest to that. According to various surveys, the hiring bodies should decide within 6-8 weeks after the job is posted and closed. If you do not hear back within 15 to 20 days after the closing date, you may want to follow up by writing a well composed professional email. You would honestly look like a psycho if you made a follow up 4-5 days after submissions. Give the hiring manager enough time to to review your resume before making that call or email.

After submitting a resume electronically, you should wait for 1-2 weeks before following up with an employer. It is seen that many people do not get a call from the company’s human resource team even if they have submitted their resume electronically. The reason behind is yours resume may be one of 1000 resumes sent for a job listing. The search industry works as per the employer’s requirement not yours.

Further explanation:

There are many reasons to follow up your job profile. Some main reasons are as below:

It may possible that you will never get a call from hiring manager since applicants are much more compare to job openings.

There is a great possibility that some other person gets a referral and gets an interview and a possible job offer. These all things are happened when you are sat and waiting for call from the hiring manager.

Don’t try to call human resource. They don’t have even interest to talk with you. Always try to call hiring manager which have complete knowledge of job openings, current requirements and other things.
