Following Up on Job with Selection Plan

Submitted by Frank Davis

 Hi Everyone,

One piece of Career Tools advice is to end the cover letter with an expected date of follow up.

I can understand that in most cases, but this position has stated dates for selection. For example 12/01/2011 Screening for Minimum Qualifications, 1/01/2012 Written Examination, 1/17/2011 Oral Examination and etcetera. The job positing does list the recruiter's email address and phone number.

I would expect to follow up with them to see if the position has been filled. Other than that, what can I say in a follow up call? I figure I can further express my interest. Any other ideas?

Thank you very much,

Frank
