How long should you wait before following up on a résumé submission?

A) One to two weeks after the close date
B) Before the close date
C) Only when invited to do so by the organization
D) After the second submission of a résumé
E) On the close date

A)Adhere to whatever instructions the employer has provided. If the job posting lists a close date, don't call or write before then, because the company is still collecting applications and will not have made a decision about inviting people for interviews. Wait a week or so after the close date. If no close date is given and you have no other information to suggest a timeline, you can generally contact the company starting a week or two after submitting your résumé.
