I have submitted a resume for my dream job. Is it ok to follow up with them or wait to be contacted?

It is absolutely appropriate to follow-up about a month after submitting your resume.

I would just wait.  For one your current employer can't fire you because you're looking for new employment.\n\nPersonally, if I were the one doing the hiring, I wouldn't devulge any information about when you would be working.  I would tell them that they need to speak with you.

It depends upon the school, the position, and the number of applicants.  The rule of thumb, in my experience, is to wait a week and make a phone call.  Then, until they tell you to stop, keep making phone calls.  You absolutely won't get anywhere waiting for someone to notice you out of a 12" stack of resumes.

I would say something like, "Hello, my name is_____.  I interviewed with _______ last week, and I'm just calling to find out if a decision has been reached."\n\nYou could mention that you'd be happy to provide them with any extra information which might aid in the decision process, and that you'd be happy to meet with them again.

I've found that calling the place instead of waiting on them to call you back is very helpful.  You can call and ask about the status of your application or call and speak to a manager and ask tell them that you've filled out an application and are very interested in pursuing that job.  I work two jobs at the mall...both places I filled out an application, and then called about 3 days later to check the status.  When I called, (showing my interest in the job), both asked me if I would like to come in for an interview.  Also, make sure that when you go to fill out applications, you're dressed like you were going to an interview.  Don't pick up an application in jeans, go dressed nicely and always ask to speak to a manager.  That way, you can speak directly to the person in charge.  Ask when they will be working again, so you can turn your application in directly to them.  Hope this helps!

It all depends on the interview...if you felt it went well, there is a good possibility. What they are trying to tell you is that you may not have all of the things they are looking for and if no one else comes forward with better qualifications then they will probably call you.\nBest thing for yo to do is continue to look for work, if someone wants you really bad, they will hire you on the spot, but still interview. \nYou can also do a check up call.\nCheck with them and see if they have hired someone, let them know that u r really interested in the job, also it doesn't hurt to send them a thank you note whether you get the job or not, to let them know you appreciate their  interest in you. Because if they hire someone else and it doesn't work out, then you have your foot further in the door...\n\nGood Luck

Call them, or have a friend do it, acting as a prospective employer who is checking your references.  See what they say.

I would wait to call until after your second interview. You may be surprised and decide that you want that one more.\n\nIf you are antsy about the first intreview, send a "thank you" card or email to everyone that interviewed you. It is a nice touch and will help them to remember you.

Depends, at the end of the interview did they mention when you should expect a call, or did you ask?  If it wasn't mentioned you probably should've called already then.\n\nSo, YES call them.

I agree with the PO Box idea, though if that's not an option, make sure that you include a cover letter with  your resume explaining the situation and clearly stating your day of arrival in town.  Also, don't wait for them to call.  Give the letter/resume a week or so to get there and then YOU make the call.\n\nGood luck.

No, I don't think that would be a good idea because you should already have a feel how it went and if you ask then the interviewer may believe that you are a bit insecure of your abilities...  Better to assume that you did well and ask the interviewer "What is the next step in the interview process?"  If the interviewer "hems and haws", then it is best to let it go and call back in a week.  If the interviewer says something like "I want you to meet "so and so" or something like that (indicating that your interview went very well) then you can ask how soon can we continue the interview process.

Sounds like you're doing everything right.  Sometimes it'll be a couple weeks for an interview, especially if they're not in a rush to fill the position, or they're hiring you for an upcoming project, or maybe someone you need to meet is out of town for the holidays. I've applied for jobs and not got called for the interview until a month later.\n\nUsually the offer will be within a few days of the final interview (it's a good idea to call of email a couple days after to thank them for meeting you, regardless).  It can never hurt to keep looking for jobs, though, until you get an offer.

No need to lose any sleep over this. Just call and be honest, and say somthing like this. "You've re-evaluated your position and after careful consideration don't believe the role is right for you. That being the case it wouldn't be in yours or the employers best interests to attend. You will however be pleased to discuss future roles which might be more suitable".\nJob done....Good luck!!

you may have posted that you wanted a job and google answered.

Since this was just a phone interview, it's not necessary, but it is a good idea. Be sincere and use your own words. Add something like, thank you for taking the time to speak with me... I'm very interested in pursuing opportunities at ... If you don't find I meet the qualifications of your current openings, I hope you'll keep me in mind in the future.\n\nAlso, be sure the email is PERFECT. Have someone else read it and proofread it. Do a spell check. Don't make any mistakes and you'll look like a pro -- and someone they'll want to work with.

I would wait 3-5 days and call them just to remind them that you applied for the position and are still interested in it. You could also ask when they are planning on making a decision. After that, I would call once a week. They may be interviewing other people and it could be the person who is leaving the position is not leaving for a month or so. You want to keep your application and resume on the top of the pile and your name on their mind.

Follow-up letters are also effective for\n\nAccepting an interview invitation \nAsking if a position for which you interviewed or submitted a job application is still open \nAsking interviewers for feedback explaining the reasons you were passed over for a job, so you can try to improve your chances \nOffering additional information about your qualifications that your resume and cover letter didn't or can't \nStaying "in touch" by reaffirming your interest in the company, after they've rejected your first attempt at employment \nStaying "in touch" after a layoff. As are many, your employer might be negligent about matching your qualifications to open jobs after laying you off, despite what they promised in your separation package. \nRequesting an extension to accept or decline a job offer \nThanking an employer for a job opportunity after you've accepted it \nThanking an employer for a job opportunity even after you've declined it. You never know when you might need to count on a job offer from that employer again. \nCalling attention to yourself once more, after sending an interview thank-you letter. It might help you to stand out among other applicants. \n\n\ncopy from http://jobsearchtech.about.com/od/followupletters/l/aa021003.htm
