[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd say give it at least two weeks. One week for me to send it on, one week for the other person to decide whether to take action. Unless there's an active job posting out there, people who follow up too soon fall lower on my priority list our come across as pushy.[/quote]

OP here - thanks. He said last week that he would send it but I obviously don't know if it's out yet or the other person has responded. I agree that I don't want to be pushy. As for a job posting - I want to chat w this place because my contact said they may be looking and I'd like to see if my skills match up in any way but I've looked and I don't see any actual job posting anywhere - on their website, linkedin, the major job search aggregators which pick up postings etc. I'm not surprised as it's a 10-15 person company which I think gets resumes by word of mouth often. So there's no active "deadline" that I must meet and this isn't a matter of my contact pushing a resume for a posting. I don't want to wait so long as to miss a shot, nor be so pushy that either party is annoyed enough to not want to chat - as I find this co interesting for the long term as well.[/quote]
