lol. No, not years, but it could be a while. There is no limit. Here's a good rule of thumb however, submit it and call back to check on the status a week and a half later. (Nobody gets to your resume right away, so that's why it has to be more than a week.)

What if you submit multiple applications online? Would it still be a good idea to call each one? Or should you track each application online and not bother the recruiting offices?

I understand they want to see that your interested but in some of my cases (summer internships), it doesnt seem feasible to call someone mainly because I have no idea who I actually sent it to.

 

I'm starting to think that the BBs intentionally make their websites unclear and cryptic as an added stress test to us all.

Think about it like this though...IB is basically the cream of the crop of all the jobs you can really get into, so none of us can really complain (i'm the only one really complaining haha).

 

Follow up with them to check on the status of your app. Keep applying to other places too.

Fear is the greatest motivator. Motivation is what it takes to find profit.
