Simple Question Regarding Following Up

Hey guys,

I was just wondering how exactly should I follow up people who do something like this:

  1. send initial email, response to setup time, call at appointed time, leave voicemail, wait a week/two weeks then send another email asking to talk/following up, but then no response.

  2. send initial email, response saying glad to talk, respond with times available/setting up a time to talk, no response, wait one/two weeks send another email asking to talk/following up, but then no response.

Basically, how do you follow up your follow up email? How long should I wait? Another week/two weeks? Can someone give me an example of what email they would send to people who respond initially but then stop responding even after another follow up email?

Or would you just give up on the contact and focus on other people?

Did you interview? I think if you take the time to meet with a company and you do not hear within one week, you can call them. There is no right answer... I would call, emailing is a waste of time, you may be negged on the job, and if you want to know they may never write back.
