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.
