    I had to call him I waited 3 days before calling and he had already reviewed my app.

    Maybe its a case of him waiting to see who makes the effort to follow up their app to get a better idea of who really wants to work here.

    The head of HR at a company I used to work for said she would never call applicants and only considered those who followed up for employment.

    I agree with Redtwin. Always follow up. When I ran my company I always gave more attention to those who did. I did my online application yesterday and just called today. Got a voicemail so I left a message.

    Update: Just got a call from Rusty and we spoke for a few. He's invited me to orientation when I can make it. I told him about me dealing with my mom's estate and hopefully it won't be more than a week or two from now.

    Want to give a big thanks to all who've posted here and helped me to get a good feel for the company. :)

    I'd say probably otr,but doing anything in the ne you get .10 more so I would say it levels out.
