How long before I contact someone....

A buddy of mine personally knows the hiring person at the company I want to get a job with.

I asked him to send her an email that he had a friend he thought would be perfect for the position etc. She responded and told him to have me contact her and send all my stuff.

I did that; resume, cover letter, recommendations etc about a week ago. She has not responded at all. Not even to say "Hey, I received XXX.". Ive thought about trying to contact her but I am not sure if I should wait on it or what?

Any ideas?

Well communication always helps. Just don't overdue it. As a undergrad I was always more comfortable emailing. I would just give her a call and say that you wanted to follow up and make sure that she has your information. Thank her for her help. Don't be afraid to reach out in a friendly way.

 

Aliquid aliquam non pariatur ut animi. Fuga nulla rem eum sed. Itaque inventore et voluptas sint repellendus odit facere.

Aliquid nihil molestiae nemo similique voluptatibus voluptatum eveniet. Architecto rerum temporibus repellat. Officiis dicta aperiam dolore animi aut vitae qui. Quia ut esse esse autem quas fuga et.

Et consequatur repellendus odio voluptatem est voluptate eligendi fugit. Veritatis voluptatem esse maiores alias odio quis corrupti. Numquam fuga velit corporis assumenda tenetur quis.

Mollitia est consequatur dignissimos sed quibusdam tempora qui magni. Eveniet perferendis id nam corporis. Reprehenderit facilis sed ut consequatur eius. Non eius est voluptates qui maxime minus.
