Once I submitted an online application in November 2012.

I got an email in 2021 from the employer asking me if I was interested. Lmao.

But most likely expect no response. If you hear something, great.

In my experience, smaller companies follow up with you within a few days, if you haven't heard back in 2 weeks you aren't getting a call. Larger companies can take longer, sometimes a month or more.

In very rare cases you might get a call months, or even years, later, but those are rare.

Almost never, if you haven’t spoken to a person first. Online apps are blackholes.

It works sometimes. I don’t rely on it.

Accounting Manager 1 is spot on. I remember applying for a job at Google in 2017 and didn’t get a follow-up for an interview until a year later. But with smaller companies I would usually get a follow-up for my application a few days or at max a week later.

After 1-2 months. I just had interviews in September for roles I applied to late July.

With large companies my usual experience is about a month but more on the longer side

This is not good right. What should be my reply to the client in such a case and how to handle manager on this?
