Question

After submitting a résumé by mail, how long should you wait before following up with an employer? a. 1 day b. 2-3 days c. 1 week d. 2 weeks

Answer 1

C is the correct answer. One week is an appropriate amount of time to wait when mailing a resumé, because it takes at least a couple of days for mail to arrive. However, you still want a decisive response, so two weeks is probably a little too long.
