exactly. if you dont call a place you applied to, honest to god you have less than like 5% chance of them calling you. I have been offered EVERY single job I applied to, then called back… no joke. sometimes I have 5-6 offers at once, all and only because I applied, called back, got interview and dressed nice.
alot of my friends try playing the waiting game and it never, EVER works, they usually end up working where I do because they refuse to actually put effort into finding a job. apply, call.
