How soon is too soon to follow-up?

Post by Anonymous User » Mon Mar 24, 2014 3:13 pm

I applied for a government job back in February. I got an email last Wednesday saying I've been selected for interview. We scheduled the interview for Friday. On Thursday, they called to let me know they decided to recommend me for hiring without the interview and that I should expect a call from HR shortly. I haven't heard anything from HR yet. When should I follow-up?

Government means it could take another 2 weeks to 2 months.

Then I'd wait at least a week, maybe 2
