Two weeks after her interview with a small company in town, Cara has not heard from the employer. She sends a follow-up email message, but a week later she still has not heard anything.

She calls and leaves a message, and a week later has still not received a reply. She’s very interested in the position, and the interviewer indicated it might take a couple of weeks to make a decision. However, after a month, Cara would at least like to know the status of her application. What advice would you give Cara? Explain.
