Following up after an informational interview

Hi all,

Last Monday I spotted a vacancy for an IBD role at a large BB bank and emailed a VP working in that team to gauge some information on the division and role. We had a phone chat last week and he stated that I should apply for the post. I emailed a thank you and applied accordingly. I also emailed HR last Friday to state my application and was sent online tests which I completed three days back.

I have not heard anything yet and I know it is still early. I just wanted to know when and if, I should email HR to gauge an update on my application? Also the VP said I should email him if I have any further questions following my thank you email. Should I send him over a few questions this week which I did not ask during the phone chat to keep the relationship alive?

Thanks all!

Piers
