For People who have jobs ?

How long did it take for you to get a call back from a job about an application. I turned 3 in, one to Mcdonalds, one to subway and the other to wegmans but when i called wegmans they said that they call you and i heard i was always suppose to call a job and not expect them to call. Anyways last year i turned an application into Wendy's and i was highly recomended by a head teacher at my school and they didn't even call me back. I don't know why it's so easy for some other kid who doesn't even take his job seriously to get a job when i would be faithful to a job and i still can't get one.For People who have jobs ?
Hi Robinson

Call and ask to speak to the manager and even if the manager says they will call, you call back ...it keeps your name in their mind and lets them know you want to work. Don't worry about feeling like a pest...this is your job and money you need to earn, go in feeling like this is already your job and you own it! If you do not get the job then it is their loss.

I know what you mean about people who don't care getting the jobs...seems like that happens all over the place. Stick it out though, and the right job for you will come along and when you get some experience you can change jobs, if you are not crazy about that one.

Have a great day!For People who have jobs ?
After you turn your application in, call them in a few days and ask about it. That'll help them see that you are serious about it.
Well you were correct in contacting the employer. Most of the times, if you don't contact them, they won't even know you exist. All you do is call to check the status of an application..Ask to speak to a manager, because if it is a regular crew member, they are not going to give you accurate info. Good Luck!For People who have jobs ?
Right now not many places are looking to hire. You are absolutely correct in calling them back. It shows that you are interested in the job. I would say to turn in even more applications though.
If you don't get a call within two months, I'd suggest you reapply. I turned in my App to a local video store, who only hires three people at a time, and I got lucky cause one of the girls working was graduating and put in her two week notice that she was going to quit. So I got a call right away. Be persistent and make yourself stand out.For People who have jobs ?
In my experience it's who you know, not what you know.

Ask around by word of mouth, family friends etc if they know of any jobs going. I know many jobs that have been taken by people jumping to the front of the line because they knew someone that worked at a place and that person got them an interview.
the problem here is that you sent in an job application trough internet or phone, you have to go to the place your self and ask the man in charge there and hope for the best.
Many places aren't hiring, but you should call them back. It may also help to go in person and try to talk to the hiring manager. In the mean time, keep applying at other places. Good Luck!!
i as looking for a job about a year ago. i turned in at least 8 applications and not a single one called me back. the job i have now i got because i knew somebody.
I've applied for Mc'd's in the past and it takes about 1 or 2 weeks for a call back. Sorry about your frustration. We've all been through that. Wont hire without experience, but won't give you experience. Hang in there and don't give up.
