Thank you @Enlightenedbeing
Whoever made up the saying âno news is good newsâ must have had rocks in their head. Not hearing anything is so stressful.
Keep the faith Leafy, it will all work out in the wash.

I will. Thereâs still another job I applied for. Thanks @Nada_de_nada
It sort of depends on the job and the employer. Mine is trying to hire new insurance advisors in small towns, it can take months to get one good new applicant. A friend in the city told me that his I.T. department advertised a position and received over 3,700 applications in several days. The majority were from people who werenât even remotely qualified and some didnât even reference the correct job in their applications. The flood was obviously time-consuming to wade through.

Looks like you âbetâ on the wrong job, j/k
When it comes to finding a job rejection is the name of the game. When I was applying for jobs, most places ignored me, some sent me rejection messages, I only had a couple of interviews, but I still managed to get a job.
Apply to as many places as possible, the best and easiest way to do that is on job websites like indeed,com

On indeed you fill out your resume (Basically just a form you fill out). Then you send it to jobs that are listed. You can also make your resume public (to employers, not the general public) so employers can seek you out. A lot of employers donât bother posting their jobs, they just peruse resumes and contact people they are interested in so I recommend you do that too.

I turned in my application Friday night. I know the office is closed on the weekend. So they would have gotten the application yesterday morning. I donât know how quickly they would read the application. I guess it would depend on how many they got. Maybe theyâll call today to setup an interview. Maybe theyâll call tomorrow. Maybe theyâll never call.

Are they actively seeking out employees or did you just show up and give them a resume?
If they are actively looking for employees they may wait a couple weeks to gain a bunch of candidates, then interview the ones they like or are the best fit for the job, so it could be a while before you hear from them.
I handed in my resume, then it was about a week later I heard from them. Then my job took over a week to get. I had several interviews, a police background check, a driving history check and had to write numerous tests. It was quit an ordeal.

They are actively looking for someone.
In that case I wouldnât start worrying yet. Most employers donât hire the first applicant that walks through the door. When it came to my job they had over 300 applicants before they closed down the listing on indeed, and they only hired 20 something employees.

I take it you live in a big city? I live in a very small town. Their hiring pool is small. You have to be able to get a gaming license to work there so that counts a lot of people out.
No, I donât live in a big city, I live in a medium sized town about 45 minutes outside a big city.
But if you live in a small town that could make finding a job harder.

It does make it harder. There arenât many jobs to go around. Not very many employers.
