Checking up on it...


Question Posted Monday May 19 2008, 9:09 pm

Okay, so I am 16/f. I want a job this summer. Anyways, I sent in an application to this resturant and I want to send it to other food places. I know that most likely you have to check up on your application in order to get the job and to show your motivation, but how do you do that? I know it sounds dumb, but what I don't get is that after I gave them my application, when should I come back and ask about it. What should I say? Should I call or visit personally? I really don't know what I should do when checking in with the place about my application (I've never had a formal job before), so could someone with experience please help me out? Thanks a bunch.

If they want you they will call you. It's as simple as that. If you go in or start calling them they likely won't hire you. It's all about being professional. All you do is send in your application and if they want to interview you for a job they'll call. If they don't call then move on until you find something.

Also it takes a few weeks for people to look at applications so after 6 or so weeks I would give up on a particular employer calling you. You need to remain professional here and not approach them unless they call you. Believe me they have your application and someone will review it.


After about 1-2 months if they haven't called you then and only then should you go in, introduce yourself to a manager and ask if they have anything. But don't do that now as they'll remember your name as being a pest. At least some of them would.
