How proactive should you be when applying for a job?

Published

For all the managers/directors out there.... When someone applies for a job should they call you or stop by to check on the status of the application? I recently applied for an ICU position in the same hospital I work in now... I haven't heard anything yet. Should I call the director? Should I stop by and introduce myself? I don't want to be annoying... but I really want this job...

Any advice?

Specializes in NICU.

So I finally got up the nerve to go talk to the DON of the ICU. I introduced myself, told him I had applied for the job, gave him a little background information, and then he asked if I wanted to set up an interview. Um... heck yea! So I have an interview for tomorrow at 2pm... I'm super nervous so wish me luck!!!

I guess being proactive helps!
