This guy emailed me (Friday afternoon) to say to that HR had passed my resume onto him and he was interested in my profile. He then asked me a few "fit" questions, mostly to see when I am available and for how long. I emailed him back on the weekend (Friday evening. My questions is, how long should I wait for him to reply before calling him---if I should at all?

oh COME ON!! Can't anyone give a newbie some much needed advice?
can you give some background? ibanking job? private equity? are you straight out of undergrad?
i would wait until Wednesday and then politely lob in a call asking if you'd be able to come in and meet with him and some of his team in person.
my 2 cents
Thanks nychimp
I'm still in undergrad, which is why I'm surprised he's interested. I assume he's gone through my resume where it states very clearly that I'm an undergrad.
The job is in asset management and there's no specific profile---the intern has to work on RFPs and go through mutual fund flows and study the markets.
You're right. If there's no response by Wednesday then I'll call.
Thanks again!
Wait to give him a call on Monday. It might be useles to follow-up anytime this week. It's such a short week that the few people that are in the office are utterly lethargic.
aadpepsi...I forgot to mention that I'm in France (the guy is American though) and it isn't a short week over here. On the other hand, we're going through some major transport strikes..
Well..I still haven't called..maybe this week has been a littl hectic...do you think I should email the guy on Monday or go straight ahead and call?
Relax, don't pressure him. Wait until Wednesday as someone suggested, I would simply write him a quick email. The guy is probably really busy, and there are reasons why he hasn't called you back. Same thing happened to me, the HR person told me she would arrange interviews and get back to me soon. It took her a week and a half to get back to me; I thought she had forgotten about me, but for a whole week she was trying to track down people to interview me :)
