Which application method is used the most?

Give them a call. You've nothing to lose, plus it shows them you ARE interested, and ask questions. If they seem put off, just think how it may be 6 month's down the line. You should interview them, as much as they interview you.

 

Thanks, johnday. I think I'll do that!

 

I send an online app and wait for a call.
Just this week I am checking out 2 different companies.
Sent both Apps last weekend one after the other on a Sunday.
1 Company called first thing in the morning the next day. The Other one called today.
The first one has been dragging his feet even though being the first to call. I am already tired of trying to catch him in the office. He seems to be out of the office quite a bit, nice gig I guess.
The other said he will get to work and call me by tomorrow afternoon.
I like them both equally or would not have sent apps.
So now I put it on them. Whomever calls back first now gets my services.

So even though one was Johnny on the spot with a quick call back and the other waited 4 days. They are now neck and neck again due to one recruiter being a lazy butt.
Since I am not in a hurry I find it interesting to see how it works out.

Oh the first one advertises in our Paper non stop for months a nice big ad with a picture and the whole nine yards , gotta be expensive but they are in a poor area of the country. The sercond one has never advertised around here and most people I tell the name to have never heard of them.

So now I get my popcorn back and watch the show. Who will win in the end.
