How long would you wait to follow up?

By phone. Now would be a good time. The more you follow up, the more you show you're really interested, the better impression you make.

Yep, I would call! And feel free to state that you knew things were busy and was concerned for your interviewer! That is always a nice thing and shows you care!

Also what I hear works great is dropping a thank you note after the interview. Obviously wouldn't apply for this time around but if you have to interview in future that is something to keep in mind. I always thought that was corney then a recruiter came to our school to drop some tips and that was a biggie. That and the follow up phone calls.

I absolutely agree with the thank you note, and I keep one with me at the interview. Once I am done I go to my car and write the thank you card with three positive things spoken about at the interview and address it to the interviewer and mail it on my way home!

The places that hired me all said that that is what helped get me the job...that people just don't do that much anymore and showed I had good work ethics and valued the time of the interviewer!

Thank you notes are always a good idea! I'd actually recommend waiting a full week after the timeline you were given...I've found that folks tend to take longer than they say to get back to you about jobs!

Thank you all so much, I am so glad to be able to come here for advice! I can't tell you how much it has helped me keep my head straight during this whole process!

I am going to call and let them know I am still interested and hope to hear from them. I sent thank you notes to both the recruiter and the manager the day after my interview, I took the great advice off this site and am sooo glad I did it. I am hoping that I stood out from all the other new grads-- in talking with other students who have applied, they looked at me like I had 2 heads when I mentioned about sending TY notes and follow ups, so I am praying to stand out from my peers! I want this position so much, and I hate to go on other interviews in the meantime knowing I would take this job if it is offerred, KWIM?

On a funny note, I know I am seeming like a spaz about this job/all the anxiety...in real life I am super-cool under pressure, everyone thinks I am calm and collected. I feel like this is the only place I can really let it out!
