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?

E-mail is not appropriate?

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

Yea I figured. I don't want to pester them. They can answer it when they deem it convenient. So what are the guidelines for such inquiries, if any?

Longer response time ime. I'll be super shocked if you hear back before Monday.

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).

Should I also indicate when I had my
call back interview and reiterate my interest in the firm?

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.
