Should I keep trying to contact?
Hello, I recently attended a job fair at my university. A radio station was there and they were displaying job openings for a promotions assistant. I am only a freshman, with a major in Public Relations and I really want this job. I talked to the woman at the desk and she told me to "apply online". Of course, I did just that immediately when I got home . While I was talking to her, I asked her for the name of someone there that I could try and reach. A day or two after my application, I called and spoke with the name of the man she told me. We talked for a short time and he asked for my contact information and told me he'd contact me when they started doing interviews. After we got off the phone, I typed him a formal letter and sent it to the radio station (which is 30 minutes away from where I live) so I'm assuming he got it. I called him and sent the letter on Friday, September 9th and it is now September 14th and I have no received a phone call from him. I realize it has not been very long, But I plan on taking another action. Would it be better if I went to the station and try to contact him directly? Or should I call again? How long should I wait? I really want this job, but I have no experience in the field but I am totally willing to learn and put much effort into this.

I think to be honest, you may have done too much already. There's a fine line between being enthusiastic and just hassling them. So you've already sent the letter, which I wouldn't have done. But its done already. Now, don't do anything. Wait for them to contact you, and that space is usually 2 weeks. If you don't hear anything after then, give them a call. If of course they told you "if we don't contact you, you weren't successful", then there is no point in contacting them. But don't come off too needy and desperate, because they may not hire you for that reason alone.
So just wait, and keep cool. Good luck, Hope I helped :)
