i called a local care centre 14th january about part time work. i spoke to manager who invited me down for a chat and gave me an application form. i filled it in and handed it to him personally the next day.
so thats coming up 2 weeks ago. how long can you expect to get a response? should i call and see whats happening so i know whats what or leave it longer.
im not sure about how all this works as its been so long since i last applied for jobs.
thanks

Just give them a call. If its a receptionist that answers then I'd just ask her about it rather than ask to speak to the manager0 -
To be honest in today's market they don't really acknowledge applications anymore really. If you want to know then you have to chase them up. A quick ring wont do any harm just to see what's what.Emergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Mortgage OP 2025 - £LISA 24/25 - £3200 / £4000 :: NSD 2025 - 2 / 150 :: Books Read: 1 / 52 :: Decluttering - 4 / 1000Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20170

Call them. A friendly call just to see how your application is progressing is quite acceptable. I recruit and encourage applicants to stay in contact with me. If its a no, thank them and ask if you can call them again in say 6 weeks to see if there are other roles available. Be professional, polite and friendly and thank them for their time. Easy!Why did I not have the LBM years ago?LBM Dec 2008 -Debt total then £18,802.24. :eek:August 2010 - Student Loan £5526.Loan £5642 -£3000 saved towards final payment:)Balance Outstanding £8168.0
