    Should I follow up on my application form?

    It is best practice to call the employer to check on the progress of your application form.  This has two benefits: firstly you will know that your application has been received; secondly if you speak to the person who is checking the application forms then they are more likely to remember your name and put your CV in the interview pile instead of the bin.

    Always make sure you’re polite and don’t push too hard when you contact the employer – don’t forget they are very busy and you want to be remembered as a pro-active individual, not someone who may be difficult to work with!

    This would only work well (in my opinion) if you are not sending lots and lots of applications – if you are unemployed and sending dozens of applications per day it will be difficult to keep a track of who you sent and when

    I think that you do need to be careful when you are doing this. You do not want to come across as if you are chasing the company. I would telephone the company and explain that I just wanted to check that the application form had been received and leave it at that. Asking any more questions, such as when interviews might be, may just come across as too pushy.
