Q: So I had a phone interview yesterday for a company in California…I currently live in Arizona…I think the interview went well…They were 2 people conducting the interview…I did most of the talking…The person that was doing the interview said we can at least start by e-mailing you a job application…As of today I haven’t received anything…Should I call and ask or do I just wait?  ~Marali from Arizona

A: Make a follow up call. Sometimes recruiters get really busy, I would call to let them know you still have not received the application and to resend it. This also gives the recruiter the opportunity to give you an update if there is one. There is the possibility they are also interviewing other candidates, so it may be a week before yor receive a full update.
