I did that for this company, didn’t hear from them for a month, then one guy quit and I got the call. Now my career is well under way and I’ve been here 3 years. Where was your follow up? Anytime I wanted a job somewhere after submitting an application or my resume I always followed up. Most of the time, businesses aren’t going to jump on the phone and ask you to come in for an interview unless they are absolutely desprite to hire you. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/i-need-a-new-job/243641)._
