How long to follow-up?

1 点作者 tommaxwell超过 12 年前
I just recently started looking for my first full-time engineering position, and was wondering how long I should wait to follow up on leads.<p>Recently a startup I'm interested in contacted me through AngelList to talk about a position, so I quickly expressed my interest and the CEO got back to me pretty quickly. Unfortunately at the time I couldn't get on the phone to talk as he/she wanted to, so I told him that I would email him back when I had some more free time. Two days go by and I finish up a client project so I email him back to have that conversation.<p>It's been almost 4 business days and I haven't heard back. I'm hoping it just got buried in his inbox since I sent the email at 2AM, but am unsure. Should I follow up now, or wait longer to avoid looking creepy?

Depends on a number of factors. I would wait a full week in business days - but do follow up past that. And stay on their radar until they respond.<p>It's happened to me in numerous cases - and can often be used as a litmus test (albeit a small one) on your determination/interest in the position.<p>A quick message like "Hey X - just wanted to keep this on your radar. I'm available ABC time to chat. Looking forward to discussing the role further" should suffice.<p>It's surprising how so few actually end up following up.
