How long to wait?

I understand your frustration, especially the 'not knowing' even though your friend said they are busy. I'd be tempted to ring up but there again I'm never lucky whenever I confront a prospective employer like that..not tactful at all like my hubby is!

I have gotten calls around 3 weeks after I have put in an application. It is possible that with all the hiring they are doing they just have not gotten to your application yet. It might be possible though that they are looking for someone with open availability right now. Maybe once they get everyone hired that has that open availability they will work down to the people with limited availability. Good luck though!

I remember one time I had a job interview and they told us not to call also. They said they would let us know within 2 weeks. My daughter knew one of the managers there and happened to see her a couple of weeks later, so she inquired if they hired or not. She said, "Yes, there was a girl that called us back so we hired her"....get that. They told us NOT TO CALL. That's why I didn't. So it's kind of like we're darned if we do and we're darned if we don't. I just don't know what to tell you in this case. If you feel you weren't hired, I would just call them anyways to find out why you didn't get hired. I can't stand it when they make you wait like that, it's awful.

Their probably busy trying to open the store and haven't had a chance to look at all the resumes yet. I would give it a little time before you give up. But you could start putting resumes at other places just to have different options in case you don't get this job though. Good luck.

its time to hope and always stick to the seat and wait for the right moment to strike gold and hit the jackpot of the job,so keep trying until you succeed

I can understand your frustration. two weeks are quite a long time. you can keep searching other jobs if you like since you have rich experience with frachise. be confident. good luck

Don't bother contacting them, since they specified that they do not want applicants to call or such. Just continue on with applying to other positions at other places. If you hear back from Tim Hortons, that is fine. If not, you will have more applications in at other places and won't be waiting around to hear back from this place.

Hi Ricki! I am sure that there are so many other applicants seeking positions in that company so if I were I will really go to the manager personally and inquire about your application. It always works when you show the company how interested you are. Because if you don't do anything and they are not really eager to hire you, then you will never get the job. But if you do something, like show your interest and you make a follow up, you will have two options: a) not get hired because they are already full or b) get hired because they'd been so busy they have overlooked the applications. So go ahead and increase your options. Call them or see them personally.

The anticipation is killing you, right? But I guess, you also need to look for other options just in case, they would not be calling you.

Hi the best bet is never to wait keep puting jobs app. in the more you put in the better the odds today everything is a number game . when you are looking for a job you are a sale person the product you are selling is you. just keep it up sooner or later you might have 2 offer at the same time. ok have a good day.

If i were you i dont think that i would hold my breath for the job. I would go ahead and start looking for another job. And if they call you then great you can have the job that you wanted to begin with. But if not at least you have started looking else where for a job and maybe someone will call you soon and you will have a job for the holidays.

When waiting on a job to call me back I get very impatient and call them. Two weeks should have been enough time for them to decide. I would call them, what"s the worse that's going to happen , they'll tell you that they're not hiring. They never call and tell you that they're not hiring thoughor they don't want to hire you.

Hey Ricki, This sucks! I am feeling your pain severely because how is that businesses are crying that they need help and when qualified applicants such as yourself applies, they wait and drag butt until the time run out? I would chalk it up as a loss and move on. Sad to say, but I'm in the same boat with you.

Dear Ricki, i feel very sorry for you. but such is life, we have to go through some difficulties. i have similar experience with you. I sent my resume to a company, but didn't receive a reply for a long time. My suggestion to you is that while you are waiting , don't stop to try another chances. God close a door but must open another window for you. good luck!

Call them, and ask them. Naturally, you don't want to ask them to 'explain why they haven't answered'; think of it more as 'asking if they have any positions open,' as if you hadn't submitted an application earlier. I guess.

Sorry Tim Hortons, I would call. It's a crucial time for both parties involved, and the results can be one of three: you're being considered and they're busy and losing track of their heads; you're not being considered and they're busy and losing track of their heads or they chose you and forgot to phone because they're busy and losing track of their heads.
