How long to wait for an interview

Published

I have been talking with a unit director on a floor I really want to work on after I graduate (this December).She told me to apply for a position and she would given me an interview. I applied for the position earlier this month, but have not heard back. How long does it typically take for a unit director to call back for an interview? I want to follow up, but I am sure she is busy and I do not want to seem annoying as I have been very persistent about this position already.

Applied for a job one time and was told it would take a little longer due to proximity to holidays. Waited some time, followed up, and they had no idea who I was or where any application from me was located. The lesson I learned that time was that I should not hold my breath with job apps. Give it an appropriate length of time, then concentrate on your next effort.
