Letter requesting status of Application
I haven't heard from a firm where I had a callback interview for a while now and they told me to contact them to check up on the status if I didn't hear back from them after a specified amount of time had lapsed (two weeks). Are there any general guidelines for such letters?

I emailed the recruiter instead of calling. Figured it would be less annoying for the recruiter.

I just kept it short and professional by saying I'm writing to "inquire the status of my candidacy." I got a response within 5 hours (it was a weekday though).Anonymous User wrote:Yea I figured.

Re: Letter requesting status of Application
These threads crack me up. We have a bunch of smart t14 law students, and they can't figure out how to write an email? Christ.
