At the recommendation of a friend, I contacted her former boss who works at a company that I very much want to join. We spoke on the phone for a little while, and then she said that "If X recommended you, I'll put you at the top of the list for any new opening."
But she said she didn't expect anything until the fall (this was June). So she told me to check in with her once a month just in case (she emphasized "once"), which I've done, but I've never gotten a response.
I left a voicemail and email in July, since I wasn't sure how she wanted me to contact her, but no response. I just emailed this time (Aug.), but still no reply. I was just hoping for an acknowledgment. Is she getting my messages? Does she remember me?!
Since this is the second time in a row this has happened and this person is a senior manager, maybe she's just busy or there's no news. I don't want to pester her or my friend for info, but it's confusing. Or should I not expect to hear anything till fall? Any thoughts?
