I recently (almost 3 weeks ago) submitted an application to a Starbucks near my house. The store was hiring so I knew it would be good to apply. I heard it’s best to call a couple of days after you apply to get an update and speed up the process. Let’s say I called about 5 days after, spoke to someone and asked for the manager. I was told the manager wasn’t there and I should call again the next day, I called the next day spoke to someone new and was told the manager was now on vacation. Called back a week later happened to get the manager on the phone and was told by them now wasn’t a good time and the best time to call was Monday’s after 9 A.M. I did what I was told and called Monday around 10ish, someone picked up, I told them my situation and they told me the manager wasn’t in and I should call in an hour. Called an hour later and was told the manager was not in that day. I called the next day again and someone picked up, told me the manager wasn’t there and they would write my name down and give it to the manager.

It’s been a week now and I’m not sure what to do at this point. I don’t want to call again because I think I’ve annoyed them too much at this point. I also don’t want to give up because getting this job would be the ideal situation for me.

Any advice on what to do?
