how long do you wait to hear - OlderMT


Posted: Feb 20, 2012

from a company you applied to?

 

also, what does it mean when they call you back when you are out and never call again.  I know I can call them, but I get a bad feeling when a company would do that.  Or is it just me?  

what do you mean, "how long do you wait?" - wait for what

What are you waiting for? You apply to every job you can until one calls you back.

depends on what you're waiting for - Ayn

In my experience, companies (MTSO and other fields as well) do not contact an applicant unless they are interested in that person. So, don't expect a call acknowledging your application/resume.

I don't think it "means" anything when they call you when you are out -- how are they supposed to know if you are home or not? If they leave a message then no, they are not going to call again. The ball is then in your court to return their message.

As far as how long would I wait to hear after submitting an application - probably 2 weeks. If I did not hear back from them, I would assume the position was filled or they were not interested in me. In the meantime, I would be contacting/applying at all other places I was interested in.

How Long Do You Wait?
Jul 27, 2011

How long do you wait after you apply and test before you email and/or contact the recruiter?  The way I see it, I have spent at least a couple of hours on their tests and at the very least deserve an email within a few days either way.  Maybe times have changed. Or maybe I should cc the HR dept asking for an update on my application status? ...


How Long Do I Wait?
Mar 20, 2012

I lost my IC MT job in January.  The MTSO lost the account I was working on.  They are trying to obtain another account and when they do I will be called back to work.  In the meantime I have been looking around and this past month I have been applying for part-time IC work.  I could use the paycheck!  I contacted my previous MTSO and they have nothing yet.  I am not finding any work at all.  I'm feeling anxious.  So, I think I need to be more flexibl ...

How Long Would You Wait On A Check Before
Oct 18, 2011

starting to make some noise?  I started with this small services a few weeks ago.  I had some problems with my  bank, so I closed out the old account and opened a new one.  Well I got an email from the MTSO wanting to confirm they had no DD info for me.  I said I sent it when I changed accounts (had old account info when I started).  I sent the email back to them that proved it.  Anyway, she said since "we" missed the deadline, she was going to send a live chec ...


How Long Would You Wait For Pto To Be Granted...
Feb 14, 2012

CCM says she will approve but so far has not.  Pto is in 3 days and just need to have 1 day off.  I have sent several emails to remind I needed this day off.  Do I just call her the day I am supposed to have off if it still is not approved and let her know I really need to have it off?  I really hate to go over her head on this but may have to. ...


How Long To Wait For Work
Jul 17, 2012

When you are logged in and you have NJA, how long is a reasonable amount of time to stay logged in to wait for work to meet your quota? I've been giving myself a 12-hour window, but think that's kind of too long. I was thinking of reducing it just 8 hours and if I don't end up with enough work to meet my quota, not my problem. ...

I am on a troublesome account that is fairly new to the company and is a mix of VR and straight transcripiton.  When it first started, there was plenty of work.  All that work has now dried up.  I am lucky if I get a total of 400 lines per day.  Most of my day (approximately 12 hours a day) I sit and keep clicking for the next job to download from EditScript and most of the time anymore nothing comes.  My question for anyone who would care to answer is how long would you ...

For the first time in 6 years, I am job hunting.   Sadly, things seem to be going downhill fast with the employer I have been with for just over 6 years now and I have a strong feeling that it's time for me to start exploring other options.   I just dusted off and updated my resume and sent it to a couple of companies who have ads posted.   It has been so long since I have had to apply for jobs.   My question is how long to you wait after sending your resume before follo ...

How Long To Hear Back After Applying
Feb 13, 2013

I applied for a hospital job (non-MT) about 2 weeks ago and have heard nothing yet.  I am just wondering how long I should wait to hear back.  This is not the only job I applied to, sending out resumes, but this is the one I wanted.  The job is still posted on their website, so presumably not filled yet.  Does it normally take this long or am I being unrealistic?  Should I just move on?  I want to move on, tired of waiting.  Just wondering if anybody else has a ...
