I would go back and ask them. Then they will know you are really serious.

Employers are swamped now a days with job applications. The average job opening recieves over fifty, and managers have to sift through them quickly in order to fill the position.
I can't say why you haven't gotten a call back. Perhaps you don't meet the criteria they have preset? Do you have the experience they're looking for? The skills? If you meet the qualifications and feel you submitted a great application that makes you perfect for the job, then you need to follow up and remind them! You might be qualified, but there are lots of qualified people out there. You need to stand out! To do that, you should call Taco Bell, ask to speak to the manager, say you were inquiring about your application and would love the opportunity to interview. Don't be shy!
And don't put all your eggs in one basket either. You'll likely submit a lot of applications and for every ten you submit, you'll only get call backs on half or less. It's the nature of the job hunting beast!
Good luck!

At the rate things are going the job market will boil down to two main industries: drugs and prostitution. Anyone who wants a job will have to seek work in those two areas or stay unemployed for the rest of their life. In reality, though, each one of those sites you have applied to has probably received 5,000 or more applications for reach job. I remember once about 15 years ago Chicago advertised for a garbageman job and had 5,000 applicants. So if anything it is worse now. "City advertises sanitary engineer position and is swamped with 154,000 applications." One area in which you might be able to find work is as a butt-wiper for old people. You might only be up against 1,000 or so applicants for a job like that. Think of a real nasty job, one that you'd never want to do or that no one else would want and you stand a good chance of getting it.

It's easily possible your application just got lost in the papers on a desk. But there's nothing says you can't take the initiative. The fact you pursue the job will make it easier for the manager to believe you will actually show up for work. Just be sure to seem polite. If you don't get the job, remember there are probably more applicants than jobs. Don't give up. =

It depends upon management of the place of business. They probably get lots of applications all the time so put looking them over low on their agenda.
If you really want to stick out in their mind, I suggest doing your own 'follow up phone call'.
"Hi, I'm (insert name). I submitted an application a few days ago. I was wondering if you had a chance to look it over?"
Keep it simple and sincere. If you're young, try not to sound nervous!

If you were a good candidate or if they are actually hiring, you should give them at least one week to a week and a half to reply. If not, you should apply for more places than just one at a time. You get a bigger chance to get an interview. Also, it wouldn't hurt to call up there and speak to a manager and ask him about the status of your application.

Get used to it! When I graduated from college I applied to about 60-70 places and heard back from maybe 10. Good luck! Call them and ask about it, and I guarantee you'll get the job because they will like your persistance.

There is nothing worse then being blown off - in a job situation call them if it's been about a week. Just tell them your name and you need to make a choice about a job and was hoping to hear back about this job!

Most managers are sloppy, you have to dog them and call them round the clock within reason to ask them about it. Its a good sign to call as well since it shows them that you really do care about getting the job.

Let them know you really want the job. If you show true enthusiasm, they could move you to the top of the stack.
