recently applied for a support clerk position in my local school system. I went to school for teaching, but am currently certified out of state so am not pursuing a teaching position until I am certified locally.
I called the day that the position shut to make sure that they recieved my resume and had all they needed. They said that they’d recieved it and that I should be hearing from them in about a week. It has been 9 days since then, and I really really want (NEED) this job and have no idea what the best step to take next is to get an interview. I am overly qualified as only a highschool diploma is required and I hold a BA in psychology and el ed….any suggestions?
Answer:
If I were you, I would call. In todays world you almost have to go the extra mile. It really isn’t an akward situation if approached correctly. For example.. the end of most resumes say something to the tune of- I will be contacting you in the next few days to schedule an interview -Why not do just that?
Call and say something like, “Hi, My name is …. and I applied for the Support Clerk Position. I was wondering what time would be good to come in for an interview.”
Its not considered pushy at all and most real world jobs actually require that.
If you dont get the job, dont feel bad. With the way the economy is heading.. We would all be superior off learning to hunt and fish for food

Definitely call. It shows you have a strong interest and an answer will put your mind at ease. But be super super polite when asking!
