I've got a few job applications in to various big city hospitals for positions that I'm well qualified for. In your experience, what's a reasonable amount of time to wait before I can expect to hear anything? At what point should I be trying to follow up with HR?
They could be continuously recruiting positions. They could also be already filled and just not taken down. Honestly, it's a poop shoot. I'd give it a week before contacting hr.
Often, you won't hear back until months later, if at all. In my experience. Better to find a human inside the organization to get your name up to HR. Otherwise you are just one in a stack of probably hundreds.
